How to Make a Cake Car

Once your rice krispies are made grease your hands well and place rice krispies into a loaf pan. Let stand for 15-30 mins, pop out of pan and let harden. I let mine sit out for an hour.

After your rice krispies have sat out to firm up, cut out the picture of the car you want to carve. Place the car cut out on the rice krispies.

Use a serrated knife to carve your car. Follow the line of your car cut out. If you make a mistake just squish the rice krispies back together.
Add any protruding details to the car ie) spoilers, indents ect.
Cut out your wheel wells.
Use the cut off pieces of rice krispies treats (RKT) to make your wheels, make them smaller than the actual holes as you will be putting fondant on them. I forgot about adding the fondant so my wells looked a little oversized!
Once you have your car carved, cut a pieceof cake board to fit underneath the car, attach with royal icing.

Before you put your fondant on your cake car you must cover the car in buttercream icing. This acts as a "glue" for your fondant. It also helps to make the car have a smoother finish.
Cover your wheels with buttercream as well.
Buttercream Icing Recipe

Roll your fondant out no more than a 1/4" in thickness. You need the fondant to be a little thicker than you would use to put on a cake. Having the fondant thicker will help with a smoother finish but it also makes drawing details on your car easier. Cover wheels with black fondant. I bought my black fondant as it takes some time to get the fondant a real black.
Smoothe out fondant with clean fingers.
Here is a really easy Fondant Recipe

Once the car is covered in fondant start drawing on the details. Trace out windows, hood, lights, doors, trunk ect

Start adding details to your Car. I added the wheels first then started adding windows, bumper details, lights. Use royal icing to attach the wheels.

*****TIP*******
IF YOU ARE USING BLACK FONDANT FOR DETAILS ON YOUR CAR WEAR GLOVES!!! The black fondant will tint your fingers black and this WILL transfer to your car fondant when you touch it.

Adding more details.

Personalize the car.
I wish I had Edible Markers to write on the license plate number, it would have made it look so much neater. I had to use food gel and a tooth pick. They'll be one of my next investments!

Add rims to the wheels.
To get the "chrome" look I used gray fondant as my base. I used pearl luster dust milxed with vodka and a little bit of black food gel and painted it on.

Personalizing

Once you have finished your topper let it dry for a day or two depending on the heat and humidity. It was very humid when I made this so my fondant looked wet.

When your topper is dry use royal icing to attach to the top of your cake.
