Hot Wheels Cake

This cake was HUGE. It took me forever to make. Cake in a box, 3 boxes, I believe.... strawberry buttercream filling, buttercream filling, and fondant decorations on top. Those are supposed to be tires on the side, and yes, I know that they look like records. :D

I made the track out of fondant, and then painted it with concentrated black food coloring mixed with a little water. The flags I printed out on paper and then cut and glued onto toothpicks. The Hot Wheels logo with my son's name was the most difficult part. I printed a Hot Wheels logo, cut it out, and used it as a pattern to cut fondant in that shape. I found a font online using Google, that was very similar to the Hot Wheels lettering. Printed and cut out the letters, then cut fondant with the patterns. Then I painted the whole thing with food coloring mixed with a little water.

I ran some Hot Wheels cars through the dishwasher so they'd be clean, put them on top, added some fire orange sprinkles to the corners, and voila, a Hot Wheels cake!
