In the past few weeks I have been knee deep in wedding cakes
so when I got this request for a Disney cars cake I was so excited! The client’s
wanted a 3D Lighting McQueen cake for their sons 1st birthday. I was excited
and a bit intimidated at the request I hadn’t seen a cars movie but I was familiar
with the main car Lighting McQueen.
So first things first I quickly downloaded the cars movie from Direct Tv and began my research
getting to watch the movie was a much needed break for me from the hot commercial
kitchen that seems even more humid since it has been hot in Chicago. I baked a
total of 3 half sheet cakes and two rounds and got to work. After carving the
shape of the car which by the way was a process that involved a lot of choice
words and Google image searches I wasn’t
too happy with the shape I cut so I decided to come back and try it again. As a
cake artist time can either be your friend or enemy in this instance it was beneficial
to me since I gave myself enough time to do the cake.
In the end I think the cake came out pretty good if I was to
do it again there are lots of things that I would do different but overall I
was happy with the end product and the client was thrilled with their custom
cake creation made entirely of cake with matching smash cake.
