Homemade Birthday Car Cake Recipe:

INGREDIENTS:

Chocolate sponge cake ( Video: https://youtu.be/cIM9u9AXW0k )
Syrup ( Video : https://youtu.be/y88RnLNmjE8 )
Chocolate filling/frosting ( Video: https://youtu.be/qnCa1_XZbw8 )
White chocolate
Milk chocolate
Red writing icing
Green writing icing
Blue lustre powder
White lustre powder

DIRECTIONS:

Assemble the syruped cake in 3 layers, adding filling on each, apart from the top one. Using either a template or your imagination, carve the cake layers to shape a car. When you got the desired shape, cover the cake in the same chocolate filling/frosting you used to fill the cake. Chill overnight in the fridge.
Remove from fridge and smoothen and level the cake wherever needed.
Shape the car wheels from milk chocolate. You can use a round cookie cutter/plunger for this or shape with a knife. Add the wheels on the car.
Shape windows from white chocolate. Add them on the car. My advice is to carve in the cake, the shape of the windows before adding the white chocolate, so they hold for longer.
Shape the mirrors and the front lights from white chocolate. Use red writing icing for the back lights. To get the windshield effect at the front, use white lustre powder.
If you want to get the same design of splatter as in the video, sprinkle blue lustre powder over the car.

If you make the cake days in advance, you need to make sure you keep it in the fridge in the
meantime. If you need to transport the cake somewhere, add an ice block in the cake box, to
make sure the frosting doesn't melt before you get there. The frosting has butter, so if it's
exposed to heat for too long, it will start melting and the frosting will get too soft.
Bon Appétit!
