The Lightning McQueen Cake...

Here is a pic of a cake I made for a friends' three year old.  It was the first time I have "built" a 3D form out of pieces of cake, and the first time I have used fondant in such a detailed way.

Altogether it took me about 3 nights to make, and a great deal of planning.

I have taken step-by-step pics of how I made the cake so will be doing a how-to post in the next couple of weeks.
