"Disney Pixar Cars Cake Recipe Needed"

[chefdianne]

I have been perusing the web looking at all the really cool ideas people have put together using the "CARS" movie for their kids' birthday cakes. My son turns 3 next week and I always make him his cake from scratch and his birthday theme ithis year is CARS. Anyone have any experience using our PC stuff to make a track or car cake? I was thinking the torte pan set kind of look like wheels to begin with but I don't need that huge of a cake. I then was thinking of making a couple sheet cakes using the Lg St Bar Pan and making a racetrack out of it but would love to hear from someone who already had the experience before I create a disaster!
Thanks

One of my friends did a race track with 2 8inch round cakes side by side and did green grass and a track in a figure 8 I believe she found it in family fun magazine

I did this cake a few years ago and it was really easy!

Here is my mom's birthday cake- I can't remember why she had a Cars cake, but we got it done at the local Fred Meyer...

Spiderman CakeI just have to share this one since we are talking about homemade theme birthday cakes. My DH did this one with the help of quite a few of my PC goodies:

Thanks!! I have seen some of these out there but didn't know if anyone had experimented with our own torte pans or could offer any advice on how they made one themselves in the past. Much appreciated and I love the way oreos are used as gravel on the racetrack cake and the green sprinkles for grass! My son loves sprinkles!
