Littlest mans birthday party - Lightning Mcqueen
Today was Kyle's birthday party - he is turning 2 next week! He loves Lightning McQueen, so I made a McQueen cake and had some other McQueen party supplies on hand. Very simple, fruit and veggie trays and cake.

DeleteThat is one awesome cake! Looking like a great theme for a birthday party, cars are big around here too.
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by!
DeleteGreat job!! Love pics of kids chowing down on cake.... but wait... how did he end up outside with no shirt on! ;)
ReplyDeletehe was outside the whole time....after he blew out the candle, I stripped his shirt off him....saved the shirt, but forgot about the seat cushion....gotta try and get the red out
Deletelovely cake happy birthday
ReplyDeletethanks so much!
DeleteYou MADE that cake? Amazing!! Looks like a fun day. Happy birthday to your little man!
ReplyDeleteyes, I did....cake decorating is a passion of mine...thanks!
DeleteCurious how you got the car structure to hold up like that? Is it cake inside there too? If so, how'd you get the shape so perfect?
ReplyDeleteI used a 9*13 as the base (the grey cake) and then I also baked an 11*7 and used that to carve out the shape of the car. If it was lengthwise, I cut off 1/3 and used that long piece to make the roof, spoiler and headlights. Then I attached them using frosting, froze the cake and then when I was piping I built up the areas I needed to.
DeleteI googled "lightning mcqueen 3d cake" and it came up with a gazillion ideas. There is a 3d cruiser pan you can buy from wilton, which would have been my next step if this hadn't turned out
What an awesome birthday cake!
ReplyDeletethanks for the visit!
DeleteHappy Birthday!
