I baked 2, 9" X 13" white cakes and froze them last night so they are easier to carve.
Fondant only comes in white so I hand mixed red food coloring in to it. It took a good 5:00 of kneading. Then rolled it into a thin sheet and laid it over the cake.
White fondant for the windshield (which I cut too small) and the mouth. The spoiler is a graham cracker covered in fondant.
Oreo cookie wheels with black frosting to make them bigger. Red fondant rims... it's all about the wheels! I painted the windows, eyes and detailed the rims with food coloring gel.
I originally was going to put Lightening McQueen's number on the roof but I went with a #3 instead.
And the almost finished cake. The lightening on the side turned out better than I thought they would. Tomorrow I'll finish the 'ground' before we head to a huge farm for Ben's party. Pony rides and a gazillion baby goats, sheep, and chickens.

that is a freakin' awesome cake! i'm so sad that we missed the party...the girls are also devastated to have missed visiting with the goats. hope benny had a great day!

Nice job at Phoenix! Hip injury my ass. I read that the Canadian Olympic trials standard for women is 2:31 ("B")! WTF? That's crazy.
yeah, well that's exactly why canada hasn't sent anyone to the olympics in the marathon for the last million years...you'd have to set a canadian record to even qualify. it's a real bone of contention in canadian athletics....the men's standards are just as crazy.
i just wanted to run the OQS for the american trials so i could turn it down. lol.
