Another cake done at work. This time I got to help with some of the fun stuff. As usual I baked, filled, frosted and smoothed the cake. But I also got to make Lightning McQueen that is on top.
He was done using rice treats for the inside. Then he was covered in a base coat of fondant to firm up the body. The black for the inside of his mouth went on next, then the teeth. After a day of drying time came a coat of red. This time I used modeling chocolate. I cut out the mouth to show the teeth and I cut out the windshield to make the eyelids to show the white under the red. The last thing was the details like the eye color, numbers and lighting bolt. Oh and then the wheels were put on.
My Kitchen manager J. did the rest. She did the road and all the grass and then added the edible images of road signs and the Happy Birthday banner.
