Coolest Lightning McQueen Birthday Cake

I found a lady who had step-by-step instructions on how to make a Lightning McQueen Birthday Cake – awesome!

The best advise I can give is to buy pre-coloured red and black fondant. The next best bit of advise is to freeze the cake as it makes it a breeze to carve into the shape of a car.

Try to leave the blue eyes to last if you are colouring the fondant (try using blue smarties) as once the blue is on your hands it seems to get everywhere where you don’t want it.

The wheels are Oreo’s covered with black fondant. I also used cardboard to make the shape of the lightning and windows before cutting the fondant.

It was easier than I expected and the kids faces always makes the effort worthwhile.
