*Vroom, Vroom!*




Lighning McQueen Cake: 2-layer vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream frosting decorated with fondant cut outs, luster dust and blue glitter decorating gel

Cars is one of my favorite Pixar movies so I was very excited to make this cake for a 3 year-old boy who was having a Lightning McQueen themed party.  The most challenging part was making a stationary cake look like it could burn rubber off the kitchen table.  I was particularly happy with the eyes-adding just a little bit of flash with blue glitter decorating gel. 
As far as I'm concerned, Pixar can do no wrong-what's not to love about characters like Buzz & Woody, Sulley & Mike, Marlin & Dorey or even Remy & Linguine? With the new arrival of Wall-E, Pixar adds yet another endearing character to their list...anyone planning on throwing a birthday party with a Wall-E theme? (hint, hint)
