Disney's Lightning McQueen Birthday Cake

This was a really fun cake to make for Sarah's son's second birthday. The cake was made up of 3 layers of yellow cake and vanilla buttercream, carved to the shape of lighting then covered with red fondant. It was a little challenging.. but definitely loved the outcome. I also made the cake board with pieces of fondant to get the checkered effect, the "Happy Birthday Jakob!" ribbon and the candle holder of the trophy. I decided to put JV for his initials in front on the car and put 02 for his age on top of the car. I did want to add flags and what not.. but that's okay.. Very fun cake to make, loved it.
