crystal-hardy24: I have used the great directions from this side: members.optusnet.com.au/boonenati/ But with my own touch. I have used "mud-cake play doh" (blended mud cake with bc) to give the cake the round shapes. I have used ready colored rolled fondant.

Oh, my sons would DIE for this cake. They are both obsessed with Lightening McQueen, particularly my almost 2 year old. This cake is a bit out of my experience range yet, though. :)

This cake is amazing!!!! I would love to know who designed and baked this cake. My son's 3rd birthday is coming up in August and his favorite movies are "The Incredibles" and "Cars". So his party theme will be "Cars" featuring "Lightning McQueen" and this cake would be perfect. I've been looking for 4 months for a 3-D cake like this. Where can I get this recipe or the name of the store where it waspurchased. Could you please send the information to my email address: ShauntaeLThomas@yahoo.com. It would be greatly appreciated.
