How can I make a car-themed cake at home for a birthday?
You could:
- Bake a rectangular sponge and cut it into the shape of a car.
- Cover the sponge with coloured buttercream or fondant to create the body.
- Use biscuits or lollies as wheels and add simple piping for details.
While this DIY method is fun, it can be tricky to get the shape and finish right. A car cake from the Cupcake Factory gives you a polished, professional result that looks party-ready without the stress of making and decorating an entire kids birthday cake yourself.
