My son turned 6 today. We had his party on saturday and he asked for a "Cars" cake. We didn't really have the money to get a cake already made so I decided I would attempt to make his cake for him. First I just used the Betty Crocker cake mix. I used one chocolate and one vanilla, and I added a package of vanilla and chocolate pudding mix into the corresponding cake mix just to make it a little more moist. As it was baking in the oven, I had printed out the design that I wanted on the cake. Then I took a piece of wax paper and layed it on top of the design and used black icing and traced the pictures.

Then I placed the wax paper on a cookie sheet and stuck it in the freezer so that the icing would get hard. After the cakes were finished cooking and after it cooled, I iced it with white icing. I left the cake out for about an our so that the icing on the cake would get a little bit hard. After it was a little hard, I took the designs out of the freezer and transfered it to the cake.

And after I got the icing design onto the cake then I took red icing and used a wilton tip to add the icing to the car and used a little yellow for the lightning bolts on it. And while it isnt professional looking, it looks pretty good to me and my son.
