This Lightning McQueen Birthday Cake was a coconut cake that I made in a 12″ round pan. I elevated the cake by putting a cake board underneath it to support the length and gluing 1 inch pieces of craft blocks under the board. I carved the sides shaped the top with a bread knife. I covered it with some butter cream to make it smooth and then with homemade pink fondant. I then used a new makeup sponge to apply the no-taste red paste colour (a little shortening makes the colour easier to spread).
The rest of decorations are made with fondant and butter cream and the back spoiler is made with gum paste and attached with tooth picks. The wheels are made from cake as well and covered in black fondant.
