Steps:
- Prepare - Preheat the oven 350°F/ 177°C/ Gas mark. Prepare a 15 x 17 sheet cake pan for baking - grease, and line with parchment paper. If you don't have a sheet pan you can also use 2 x 8-inch square tins.
- Dry ingredients - In a bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt - set aside.
- Wet ingredients - In the bowl of a stand mixer cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time until well combined. Use a spatula and scrape the sides of the bowl when necessary. Next, add the flour and milk mixture in three batches. Then, add the vanilla extract.
- Bake - Pour the batter into the prepared sheet pan or appropriate pans and bake on the middle rack for 50 to 55 minutes or until a skewer inserted inside the cake comes out clean. Pro tip - freeze the cake for an hour or two. It helps to make fewer crumbs when you carve.
- In a large bowl (microwave-safe) combine the chocolate and heavy cream. Heat for a minute or more until all the chocolate is melted and smooth. Add the vanilla extract and combine well. Cover and leave to set in the refrigerator for a few hours overnight.
- Template - Search and print the template of the car you plan to make from google. Print it to the size you want the cake - actual size! Alternatively, you may like to draw the diagram of a fantasy car on paper and use it as a template.Pro tip - for a big cake you may need to scale the print on a few pages.
- Carve - Using your template carve the cake as shown in the video. Cutting cakes, arrange the pieces layer them according to the template. Make sure to pay attention to the hood making sure it matches the design of your car. Round the front of the cake
- Ganache - Once you have carved the shape. Frost the cake with frosting between layers and crumb coat the cake with a thin layer of frosting. Place cake in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Then, add more frosting and frost the truck making sure you have nice square corners. Smooth the cake with a flexible smoother and let chill until the frosting is firm. Pro tip - Don't forget to brush the layers with simple syrup before frosting.
- Fondant - Tint the fondant with the gel food color you want your car. Roll fondant and cover the whole cake. Cut excess fondant from around the cake. I used white fondant and airbrushed it yellow but it's easier to use a pre-colored fondant.Use a cake smoother to smooth and create square corners around the cake. Pro tip - I added the back and side fondant pieces first to create an embossed or bumped look then covered the cake in fondant.
- Use your master template as a guide - cut additional templates to the appropriate size and use them to cut fondant in the color and size of the car. Outline the windows and doors then add the extra fondant cutouts. I used black fondant for the front and back glass, doors, wheels, etc.
- Bumpers - I also added the front and back elements like bumpers and racing stripes. I used silver luster dust for a metallic look
- Headlights - Use black or white fondant and then paint with silver metallic luster dust with alcohol. You can also use colorful candy for
- Wheels - you can use silicone molds for car wheels or make them from scratch as I did in my tutorial for fire truck cake. Today, I used my son's car wheel as a model and created my own silicone mold. Once the mold was ready I filled it with black fondant and added the rest of the details accordingly.
- Extra elements - based on the car you chose you may need to make other elements. For example, race cars such as lightening Mcqueen need strips, logs - Rustezes which are easier to make with edible prints.
- A fondant board - is a great way to add more elements and dimensions to your car. I use the cake board to create a road. For sports cars, you may like to make a racing track on the cake board. Also, you can use cake scraps to create more elements on the cake board such as a slope, or road

The name says it all: This is the one to serve at birthdays and other celebrations that call for the perfect version of a traditional American layer cake. The oil in the batter keeps the cake moist, and the simple American buttercream is sweet and fluffy.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottoms and sides of two 9-inch round cake pans; dust with flour, and tap out the excess.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Beat the butter, sugar and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light in color and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then the vanilla until combined.
- Alternate folding the flour mixture and the milk into the batter with a spatula, adding the flour in three additions and the milk in two, starting and ending with the flour, until just smooth. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake the cakes on the same oven rack until golden on top and the centers spring back to the touch, 35 to 40 minutes. Rotate the pans about halfway through if they seem to be browning unevenly. Let cool in the pans about 10 minutes, then turn out onto cooling racks and let cool completely.
- For the frosting: While the cakes cool, beat the butter and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar. Once it's all been added, increase the speed to medium-high, and beat until white and fluffy. Add 2 tablespoons of the milk, and beat to incorporate. Beat in the remaining milk, one tablespoon at a time (the frosting will be spreadable but not runny).
- To assemble: Place 1 cake layer right-side up on a cake plate or stand, and spread with 1 cup of the frosting. Top with the second cake layer. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.

Steps:
- Place a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour the pan of your choice.
- Sift the flour and salt into a medium bowl and set aside. Whisk the whole eggs, yolks, milk, and the vanilla together in a 4-cup measuring cup or bowl, and set aside. In a heavy duty mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter at a medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Gradually pour in the sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, to cream and lighten the butter. (This should take about 3 minutes.) Once all the sugar is added, turn the machine off and scrape down the sides of the bowl and paddle with a rubber spatula. Continue to beat the butter mixture until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the lemon zest and beat for 30 seconds more.
- Turn the machine off and scrape the sides of the bowl again to assure even incorporation of the ingredients. Turn the mixer to its lowest setting. Gradually pour in the flour, 1/4 cup at a time, and beat the batter for 30 seconds. Gradually add the egg mixture. (It should take about a minute to pour all of it into the batter.) Remove the bowl from the mixer, scrape any batter off the paddle, and finish stirring the egg mixture into the batter with a rubber spatula. Take care not to over mix the batter, but make sure that you scrape the bottom of the bowl to evenly incorporate all of the ingredients.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and smooth over the top with a spatula. Put the cake in the oven and reduce the temperature to 325 degrees F. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, and the top springs back when lightly pressed, about 1 hour and 30 minutes, for the tube or Bundt pans; and 50 minutes to 1 hour for loaf pans.
- Cool the cake, in the pan, on a rack, for 10 to 15 minutes. Invert the cake onto a flat plate or cardboard. Re-invert the cake and set it right side up on the rack to cool completely. If not serving the same day, wrap in plastic wrap and store at room temperature, for 4 to 5 days or freeze for 1 month.

Frost entire cars with same colors.
