He is turning 4 tomorrow and he is having a Cars birthday party. I made him a Lightning McQueen cake and it turned out pretty good! It was really easy if anyone out there wants to try one. I just stacked two 13X9 cakes and carved his shape then iced him. I also sprinkled red sugar crystals to give him a sparkly look.

Great job!! My kids have to settle for store bought cakes. :)
 
That looks great!

I made frosting that red last year for DS's Incredibles cake, let me warn you, don't let the frosting get on clothing! That dye stains and is hard to get out.
 
It took 2 bottles of Wilton "Red Red" gel to get it that color. I did get it on my jean shorts and had to run to Walmart to pick up some more black gel because I was out. I looked like I had just killed someone. ;)
 
KA - CHOW !!! That is some great lookin cake! :thumbsup2 Do you do cakes professionally? I'm lucky I can frost one, let alone make a car out of one! Very cool ~ I'm sure your DS will be so excited! Happy b-day to your DS!

It's all over your hands too, isn't it? :rotfl:
 
Oh yea, hands and forearm...a little on my thigh....

Took a bath and my finger tips are still a tad red. :p
 
I'm very impressed! Subscribing to try this in October!

Did you happen to find the Sarge car? It's the last one I need to complete my son's car collection and it's up to $30 on eBay. NOT!!!
 
Nope, I'm not sweating it though. They will restock eventually and we'll get it then. He has a couple generic army cars that he calls Sarge and seems fine with that for now.

If I find two... one is yours! :wave:
 
Great looking cake! Wait 'til the boys figure out they can paint their teeth red--they'll all look like vampires! :rotfl:
 
shhhh, Minkydog, don't give them ideas!

That is one awesome looking cake. Seems a shame to cut it!

GREAT JOB!! I laughed when you said really easy though. It would NOT look like that if I tried. You obviously have some talent there, with the decorating. My ds turns 4 on Wed and he is getting a store bought POTC cake.
