Red (Fire Truck from Cars) Birthday Cake

Here's a special cake for a little boy who just turned three.  It was a challenge for me to make the cake look like Red, while not going crazy trying to match every tiny detail of him.  This is the first time I've made a cake to model an actual character.  While planning this cake out before I started, I realized that the most important part to nail would be the face and eyes. 


Red was made by dividing a 9x13 into 3 equal parts on layering them, then icing and wrapping in red fondant (plus black, sliver and white accents).

My friend Julie ordered this for her nephew who is from out of town, and I was so happy that they loved this cake and thought it looked just like Red.
