Here is Sarah with her awesome Rudolf Cake last Christmas shares a car cake tutorial
Here is a little Bio Sarah sent me – I live in Rotorua, New Zealand and have run my own home based business for the last 3 years after discovering a passion for cakes. Prior to that, I was a chef for 17 years. I am a Mum of 2 kids who are 7 and 4 years old and I have a fabulous husband who is super supportive of my crazy caking obsession.
My motto is “It’s fun to do the impossible” which is a Walt Disney quote. It seems so apt when so much of what we do is about pushing ourselves to be better and do things which scare us.

By having two identical sides of the car in paper form as a template makes things much easier.- Stack up your cakes into roughly the correct shape. Use toothpicks to place your pictures onto the sides of the cake taking care to ensure they are aligned correctly.
- Using a serrated knife start carving away the cake. Do small amounts at a time as this can reduce the risk of carving too much away.
- Once you have the body shape, place the roof on and see if the shape you need is right.
- Place toothpicks through the paper on the cake, where the chassis is curved so that you get the right places to carve away.
- Remove the paper and gradually sculpt the car so that it is the correct shape.
- Once it is the right shape Ganache and then you are all ready to ice and decorate.
And voila your Car Cake is perfectly carved.
