My cousin's son is turning 2 and they've asked me to do a car-themed cake for his birthday. His sweet grandmother (my aunt) drove 3.5 hours one way just to pick up the cake! The cake we decided upon is a racetrack cake.

The flavors are yellow and chocolate pound cakes with butter cream fillings and covered and decorated in marshmallow fondant.

The crowd is simply candy sprinkles. The hubs said that from now on when he looks at an aerial view of a sporting event, he'll think of sprinkles! The tiny cars are hand-made of gumpaste.

I knew that I wanted the cake to look like a checkered flag. We even carved in the sides a bit to look like a waving flag.
We all loved it and hope that he does too! Happy birthday, Jr.!
Peace and Love, Jen
