1970 Chevelle Cake

I love making car cakes. However, I must admit that they end up being a little shorter or fatter because I hate carving off so much cake - but I was reminded that carved cakes are an "artists rendition".

So, here is the 1970 Chevelle Cake I made this past weekend for a 30th surprise party. This is the car that is on the Fast and Furious movies - see pic below.


This cake was 3 layers of chocolate fudge cake with dark chocolate swiss meringue buttercream covered in fondant.  My favorite thing to make on cake cars is always the tires and its treads.

The weirdest thing was that after I delivered the cake - I swear I saw about 7 shined up Chevelles on the road.  They seemed to be everywhere.

    How did you make the car sit up like that instead of being directly on the board??? That is an awesome cake.
