Beck's Cars Cake

This was the cake I made for my cousin Christy's son Beck. It was his second birthday this August and he is OBSESSED with the Disney movie Cars. This was the first cake that I made the icing from scratch, as well as using both buttercream icing and fondant. My brother came up with the sign saying 'Beck's 2nd Birthday Next Exit' which was a pretty sweet touch. There was also a sign giving the distances from Westlock to Edmonton, Calgary and Vernon. some road signs included on the cake were a rocks falling sign, traffic light sign, and the bumpy road sign. The biggest hit of the cake was the car on top, that's for sure, and I'll admit it was pretty sweet, doing flips and what not. I felt so awful though because the birthday boy had some sort of allergic reaction and started freaking out, rubbing his head and screaming and crying. It was pretty scary. But I think Beck was pretty happy with the cake, and that's the most important thing.
