Hi Sugar Buddies!
I got back from the DOS in Winnie, Tx and boy did we have fun! Of course there was torrential rain and flooding while we were there. What is it with the severe weather everywhere I travel to? Maybe God is trying to tell me to stay my butt home? Nah.
So anyway, I am slamming busy this week , so I am pleased to present you with a guest entry from Karen in LA on her 3D car cake. Karen is a wonderful cake artist, and she does some really great 3D stuff.
Take it away Karen:
I usually try and find the original dimensions of a vehicle first. Then scale it down to where it will fit on a piece of paper (8×14).Then from there, I use a ruler to see the size of the tire space, space from bumper to start of tire, distance between tires then the distance between the back tire and the back bumper. Now I am able to get my dimensions for my board with holes inset for the tires to go up in. (I always do a paper template also in case someone needs one again!!!!)
Place the cakes on the board. Align the ‘car template’ up against the cake.
Then carve.
I do a lot of my details with icing build up instead of actually cutting into the cake, this makes it sooooo much easier! This isn’t a very good pic, but you can see what is taking place. I did smooth it more after this pic was taken also!!!
While the paint is drying, I fix my little boards that are gonna go under the cake. So when it’s dry, I place it on the ‘taped on both sides’ blocks so it doesn’t go anywhere!!!!!Then on to the painted and window details. Windows were fondant covered with an edible image. Gradient fill. Nothing fancy!!! Outlined with airbrush black and silver dust.
From here it is all details which take the majority of the time. The wheels were gumpaste painted black also!!!!
Here it is moved over to the cake board getting all the detail work done.
And the finished product!!!

Thank you Karen for that great tutorial! You rock! Below is a picture of the first car cake I made using Karen’s technique, but I used fondant. I was very happy with it!

You guys have a wonderful weekend and I will see you next week!
Happy caking!

Thank you for sharing! I wish I had a car cake to do:)
That is the best car tutorial I have ever seen and I agree with Julie – I wish I had a car cake to make now!!
You make it look so easy…as always. Thanks for the tutorial!
Looks so easy, maybe I could convince my daughter to eat a cake car instead of buying one, hope it will work.
Just think no car payments, insurance, upkeep…..love it.
Thank you for sharing!!!
What a great way to make the car. Thanks for sharing ;o)
Oh thanks so much !
That looks doable( maybe?) LOL!
Thanks for sharing.
Amazing. Thank you so much for sharing! Now if someone asks, I can say yes!
I just got a request for a car cake tonight. Thank you so much this will make it so much easier todo.
Choosing a car is bit difficult , since in the market wide range of cars are available. You need to consult an expert who can compare different branded cars. I prefer Eu Neuwagen to consult and get the right brand.
Fantastic. Just what I have been looking for so I can make it for my sons birthday.
I wanted to thank you for your fab tutorial on making a car cake – I was asked to make a car cake for a Porsche GT3RS obsessive for his 65th birthday. Thanks to your help, the outcome was amazing for my first ever car cake!!
thank you so much sharon! i'm trying to carve my dh's vw bug and i love how you used those racks to handle the "wheel" areas. i'm sure i won't regret subscribing!
What is the support that is used under the car to give it a slight lift off the cake board?

I have to make a car cake today and I have a few questions. It looks like she used two layers of 11 by 14? Could it be done with two layers of 9 by 13? I'm assuming that it needs to be done with pound cake for stability?
Thank you!
