The idea was to make the cakes shaped into the color of a toy that they enjoy playing with. Interesting enough, they both love cars. It was a very interesting experience, very time consuming because there is so much detail that goes into making a custom 3D shaped cake, that's why it's always good to plan.
Both cakes were marble flavor and filled with traditional butter cream then covered and decorated them with marshmallow fondant. The wheels were all made from rice crispy treats. I found a really good recipe on the cakejournal website. As always, whenever you do something for the very first time, you always come away with ideas on how to you will do things differently the next time around. It was a lot fun and I was pretty impressed with my work.
