CARS Cake

My son LOVES the Disney CARS movie so for his birthday he wanted a race track with "Kachow" (aka Lightening McQueen) winning!  So, I made a round chocolate cake.  I crushed up chocolate center sandwich cookies to look like gravel and lined the track with halved cookies.  I made grass with green colored coconut and added white frosting lines for the track.  I then added his cars to the track and the 'trophy' candle that he wanted on top.  It was easy and he was pleased!!

Hot Wheels Cake

My attempt at a Hot Wheels Cake.  I was trying to make it look like a Hot Wheels track that the car was coming down from.  It also is supposed to double as a number nine because it is his ninth birthday!  The car even has a nine.  He said he gets it and I think he is more excited about the car than the cake...so??  Maybe next time.

I used a round cake and sour candy strips for the track.  I think next time I would just do it flat on the cake instead of trying to do it 3-D.
