Making cakes to look like an identifiable object is definitely not easy. One of the most important parts of doing so is choosing your ingredients wisely!
For this Formula 1 Car cake, there are some things that you can’t see that are part of the construction that are disguised. First, what did you think the tires were, rice krispy treats? Wrong. They are actually Ring Dings covered in fondant. As a lazy person, I decided to use them because they were already the right shape and size.
Cake would have been too fragile to stand on its side like that, and I would have had to hand cut rice krispies which would not have yielded a perfect circle. Finding something like that is important and can save you a lot of work, so choose wisely! The best way to do this is to just raid the snack aisle in your nearest supermarket or Wal-Mart, be creative and don’t be afraid to use something!
