Well these special cupcakes and cake were for my nephew, Hayden. Hayden was one spoiled birthday boy because he had two separate birthday parties, hence the two different cakes. For his family birthday party I made neon green race car cupcakes. Hayden absolutely loves cars, so I thought it would be a good and simply idea. The race cars are molded out of fondant, and then I piped letters and numbers on the race cars with buttercream icing. Then for Hayden's birthday party with all his little friends I let him pick what kind of cake he wanted. He loves the movie Cars, and loves the main character, "lightning mcqueen." So I did my best to mold a real life lightning mcqueen race car on the top of the cake, and then thought I would do a race car flag with the checkers for the top layer, and match the red of the car to the bottom layer. The flavor of the cake is all chocolate, but the top tier had a peanut butter filling, and the bottom tier has a chocolate fudge filling. This cake was a lot of fun to make, and was definitely worth it to see the smile on Hayden's face! HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY HAYDEN!!
