Coolest Lightning Mcqueen Cake

I was asked by my friend to do a cake for her twin boys 4th Birthday. She gave me a big plastic Lightning Mcqueen car and said I want this and as I like a challenge I said yes.

I searched a forum for some ideas for a Lightning McQueen cake and well this is what I came up with. It was made with sponge cake and a vanilla buttercream. I froze the sponge to make it easier to carve out the car shape. I trimmed the bottom on the cake a little so the icing would go under the car neatly.

I printed the car bumper stickers and the 95 off on edible paper and used edible ink. I covered the cake drum with fondant and used a new/clean washing up brush to give it a texture of sand. It was okay but I now have mats to get this effect.

All in all I was very happy with the cake and the boys LOVED it.
