This is only as far as my automechanical skills go. The cake is fondant-covered; the Lightning McQueen is made of gum paste. Everything is edible, of course.
Inside are three layers of lemon cake moistened with lemon syrup, white chocolate and cream cheese filling, and Swiss lemon buttercream. The cake is 9×13-inch, over 3-inch tall; the cartoon character is about 4-inch long.

Priya, thank you. Unfortunately, I don’t ship my cakes and don’t know anyone in your area. I didn’t weigh the cake; it was quite big and heavy (3 layers 9X13 generously filled and frosted.

i love the cake, i looked for the design of the cake in the google so that i can order it in a baker shop for my son’s birthday and i found this the best. No one can beat this imaginative thought of yours. I love the track 2 of the age of the child. Can you make this cake for my son’s birthday. I live in NJ or can you suggest someone who can make this for me in Central NJ. THis is the best cake design that i found so far.
how many pounds is the cake

My family and guests were blown away with your talent, and it tasted excellent too. It was well worth it. Looking forward to more of your creations.

totally stunning Vera !
You’re doing better and better each day O_o
August 6, 2009 at 12:01 am
Oh my God Vera!!! You are really killing me. For my daughter’s 6th birthday I have made a Lightning McQueen cake, but it was not even close to what you are showing here.
BTW, this year she wants a Wall-e cake. I still have time to think about it until October, but I am far from having any idea.
August 5, 2009 at 10:39 pm
Sigh…. I wish I were the person at the receiving end of your goodies, Vera. Shall I get Santa to contact you for Chrismas with my request…?
August 5, 2009 at 10:12 pm
WOW!!!! I love your Lightning-Macqueen version. This cake is really full of light. I specially like the little wheels.
Congrats, great cake.
August 5, 2009 at 8:54 pm
Just amazing!You are a very talented lady!!
August 5, 2009 at 8:34 pm
OMG! For a second I thought it was a toy and mayb you were inspired by that to make the cake…but the next pic said I was wrong! Vera, you continue to inspire me!! You reminded me of the cake my mom used to make for me when I was young! She made a clock cake when I was 5 and a castle cake when I was 6! Man, I admire her patience! I really think whether I would ever have her patience! :)
August 5, 2009 at 8:00 pm
You are absolutely incredible. Your cakes are flawless.
August 5, 2009 at 6:38 pm
I love the idea of making the number (for the child’s age, presumably) into a road for the car. So clever. Once again, great graphic design, perfect execution.
And lemon, cream cheese, and white chocolate is one of my favorite flavor combinations.
August 5, 2009 at 6:24 pm
Incredible! Whoever received this cake must have been thrilled!
August 5, 2009 at 3:40 pm
WOW!! I’m blown over, what talent!
KUDOS!

So real! Wonderful job!
August 5, 2009 at 2:03 pm
SO cute! I love it! :)
August 5, 2009 at 1:54 pm
Totally flawless! I’m having a bit of trouble finding something reasonably cheap to use as a disposable base for my cakes. Any ideas?
August 5, 2009 at 1:52 pm
Wow, that cake is absolutely breathtaking!
Cheers,
Rosa
