My sweet little Carter wanted a Cars themed birthday party, so I knew making his birthday cake would be a tall order. This is the most detailed cake I have ever made and it definitely took the longest to make. I made the marshmallow fondant the day before, but everything else was made in one HUGE kitchen session. I think I started around 8:00 p.m. and finally finished around 3:00 a.m. It was quite a project to say the least!
The cake itself was chocolate and covered with homemade buttercream icing. The bottom layer has buttercream icing exposed (brownish-red color) and is supposed to represent the desert terrain. The top layer is covered in blue marshmallow fondant. All of the decorations are fondant (rolling hills, sky, clouds, sun, rocks & grass) with the exception of the candle, cars and the homemade toothpick signs. Needless to say, excitement exploded throughout our home when Carter woke up on his birthday to a Cars cake sitting on our kitchen table. I'm pretty sure I slept all morning long. This was a labor of love, for sure.
