Cars Cake

As I mentioned in my last post, this past weekend I had the distinct pleasure to do a "Cars" cake for my friend Kim's son's second birthday. Kim and I have known each other for over 20 years and I cannot associate my childhood without thinking of Kim. Amazing how we both ended up in Dallas!

Colton's cake was a two-tier cake with the bottom layer French Vanilla and the top layer Devil's Food Chocolate.  I did chocolate buttercream between the layers with vanilla buttercream covering the cake. The track around the top of the cake was black fondant and the cars were the birthday boy's. Kim had a great idea in putting M&Ms on the top of the cake underneath the Lightening McQueen car to look like gravel.  We chopped up the M&Ms and lined with black M&Ms and it looked really cool. Such a fun cake and so glad I got to be a part of it.  Happy Second Birthday, Colton!
