Race Track Cake

This race track cake was a cooperative effort.

My buddy Sarah baked the cakes and made some of the icing and washed the dishes!

I found this cake on a website so we decided to copy it because it is was so unique.

Her little boy just loved it! He was by my side the whole time I was decorating it, giving me input. He's now 5.... :}

Sarah made 4 - 8" round cakes. 2 mixes. And 1 mix- 1/2 of the sports ball pan with the left over mix, we made a dozen cupcakes.

After the cakes cooled I leveled all 4 of the round cakes, iced between layers and then trimmed off a small section of each so they would sit snug together. Look at the picture to understand.

I used a serrated knife to trim out part of the center of the 1/2 ball to make a tunnel. Then placed that on top of the cake.

I put on a thick crumb coat. After it dried I started using the green and black. I also did his name in the pre made candy letters in blue.

I used a star tip on the bottom border and round tip for the black checker pattern around the bottom of the cake and a round tip for the white outlining the race track.
I smoothed parts with a Viva towel too.

And I used the grass tip for the green parts.

We used his little toy cars and a toy bush as well.

I think his dad was as excited as he was!
