Lighting McQueen

There is nothing more that I love than my husband and my son.  For his 7th birthday, we took all of his little friends to see Cars 2.  Of course, he asked me if I could make him a Cars 2 cake of Lightening McQueen....having never attempted one before, I told him heck ya I can.  Anything for you buddy.  So this is what I ended up with.

I was really impressed with myself and really it was quite easy to make.  I had so much fun looking at his toy car and trying to really recreate it for him out of cake.  It was a yellow cake with chocolate cream cheese frosting....totally to die for.

Fast Forward to 2013
A couple of weeks ago, I was sitting with one of my friends and chatting and she pipes up saying that she wanted me to make a cake for her cute little son that was going to be turning 3....I told her that I would love to and asked what the theme was....She looked at me and said you pick out the cake and I will plan the party around the cake.  How is that for fun!!! 

I told her that we must have to do a Lighting McQueen cake.  I wanted to do another one so this was perfect.  I was so excited about how it was turning out that I had to send her several pictures throughout the process.  The base..... 

Getting closer........

 And then finally the finished product.....I loved personalizing the cake just for our Little Micah.

When we finished singing happy birthday to him and cut into the cake he burst into tears saying...."not Lighting, not Lighting" It was totally cute..  he was also happy after a couple of bites of the Triple Chocolate Cake with Chocolate frosting.....It was such a fun birthday.  Thanks!
