Racing Themed Kids Birthday Cake

The cake shown is meant to be themed after Cars, the animated kids film.  The customer was to put a Lightning Mcqueen toy on top to finish the look.

This cake is made up of a 14" round and an 8" round stacked.  The racing stripe pattern was made by cutting out a white square, then decorated with small black squares.  The little black circles along the bottom of the 8" cake are mini wheels.

After making this cake, I've officially stepped down from sculpting!  Haha, just kidding. It was a pain in the butt though!

I've never really made a sculpted cake before this Lightning McQueen one.  It took my a little while to get his shape to the point where I felt he was recognizable.  After all was said and done, I thought the shape came out great, but his color is a little off.  I think it's a little too dark.  All and all, it's not a complete disaster!
