I thought I’d share with you the Lightning McQueen cake and cupcakes that I made recently for my son’s birthday.
The cupcakes were chocolate sponge and vanilla bean buttercream topped with edible toppers. These were given to his friends at the end of his birthday party. I packaged them in single clear plastic cupcake pods which were so hard to find, but luckily Amazon saved the day.
The McQueen cake I baked was a 3 layer 8 inch chocolate sponge with dark chocolate buttercream and covered in red rolled fondant. It was finished off with a large personalised edible printed McQueen topper. I baked this cake for a small family tea party we had on the day of his birthday. I have to admit it didn’t last long as chocolate cake is a family favourite!
Until next time…Happy Baking!
