lightning mcqueen cake!

Lightning McQueen from Disney's Cars was the obvious choice for our sons' second birthday.  Just like his Daddy, he has developed a taste for cars!!! For this cake, I baked 2 square vanilla sponges which were sandwiched together with strawberry jam and vanilla buttercream then carved out into the shape of a car. The car itself was completely covered in bright red fondant.  The rear spoiler was formed out of plastic and covered with fondant.  The wheels were actually Babybels covered with black fondant and the transfers were printed and drawn by hand, coated in sticky back plastic and stuck on using a jam and water solution giving the finish of the cake a slight sheen. A great success - Charley popped when he saw it!
