Shelby Mustang Car Cake Tutorial - How to Make a Car Cake 

Zebelkhan, thank you for such a kind compliment !!

That’ll depend on how many people you will feed. My estimate is a car that’s roughly 12x5 inches should have about 8- 10 servings. If you’re having a large party you can always have a 2nd sheet cake to serve as well. Good luck & I would love to see pics of your finished cake!

Hi Lucia! Here are tutorials for my buttercream & ganache recipes. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7xXQwywf2S4.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i7vMS1o9ZhA.html The Mustang cake is roughly 11 inches x 5 inches. Hope this helps & lmk if you have any other questions

CakeyHo Awesome! Thank you ! can’t wait to try it out:)

Thanks Orissa !

Hi Rina, you can start with the fondant tires/ wheels since it'll need time to dry & harden up. Make the ganache, bake the cake, filling, modeling chocolate. I don't recommend cutting pieces in advance since it will dry out & become stiff so you should take it one step at a time. Carve the cake, cover in ganache shaping the body (this step is important since it's essentially the base & will determine the shape of the car). You don't need edible glue & can use water to instead. I recommend playing with some fondant/ modeling chocolate first so you get a feel of the consistency & how much kneading is needed & how quickly it dries or hardens. There's usually a short window to work with the materials & it'll be helpful to understand prior to working on the car. Lmk if you run into any issues, I'm happy to help! Good luck & I'd love to see your creation!

CakeyHo thank you so much, tried it for the first time - requires patience , was fun!

wanted to post a photo but didnt know how to add it, so looking forward to making it again but better !

Hi Vicki, Here's a link to the blueprint. I typically use a screenshot & when printing scale it to the size I'd like. Hope this helps!

Hi Justine! I always place cakes on top of a cake board. Here's a link. You can cut the board to fit your cake. amzn.to/2EhDoJa I stack cardboard to elevate the cake. Check out this video below, you can skip to 2 mins. Lmk if you have any other questions, Happy baking ! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-crGngaMfUJs.html

Hi Lauri ! I typically bake the cake on a 12x16 sheet pan and divide it into 3 layers. That's enough to feed roughly 15 ppl. I haven't made a cake in all buttercream since it's difficult to get the details of the car. I'm sure it's possible though! Would love to see your cake if you decide to make one, Cheers!

@@cakeyho thank you so much for your help!!

I personally prefer modeling chocolate for covering cars. It's difficult to get intricate details and lines to show on fondant. Would love to see your creation if you decide to make a car cake Sandra !

What is the difference between the two medium?

The size will vary depending on how many people you're feeding. I typically print it on standard 8.5x11 and tape the sheets together if the car spans multiple pages. A car that's roughly 10 x4x3 should roughly feed 10-12 people. So it just depends on your needs.

Hi, depending on how many ppl I'm feeding I do scale the image typically to make it larger. Just make sure the proportions don't change while you resize. Hope this helps!

Hi Gail, I found the lights on Amazon & purchased a pack. I have extras & can send you a couple. Shoot me an email at cakeyho@gmail.com and I can mail them to you. Happy Baking !

Thankyou so much for answering my question. That is so nice to offer to send me the lights. How amazing. I did find them so they are already on their way. I am trying to make my husband his cake for the 18th of thus month. Wish me luck. I have never done this before

Good Luck Gail !! Reach out if you need any help during the process. I'm happy to help however I can!
