cake decorating - Car racetrack?

[Mum2Romone]

I've seen greAt fondants cake that girlfriends have made before, but they don't taste the best....

I think we will go with the green icing with coconut for grass and choc icing for the track, with coconut or white icing for the lines on the road, and put the cars on the track...... Thanks heaps ladies....

What do you think I should put around the sides? Smarties? Or leave them plain?

You could put smarties, jelly beans or something like that around the edge on the side, just push them into the icing.

I'm sure it will look awesome!

you can make fondant out of marshmallows, its more recomended for kids cakes as it tastes better, also you can get black icing from cake shops, i got some for my sons cake, it was $6 a bottle from a cake shop.

Oh I got fondant yesterday and when I asked her about the bad taste of the normal one, she introduced me to the white chocolate fondant. Contains white choc and tastes like it too. So glad cause I hate trading taste for visuals!

Have you ever tried the white chocolate one?

I think I might be changing the cake to a rainbow slab cake and then just icing the same on top..... As above.

What do you think,I'd ice the number 2 as a sort of track........ I just think I could leave the sides plain rainbow, and green with choc 2 ????

What do you think? Have I been thinking about this too much ? Lol ..... I feel a little crazed !

I used finely crushed Oreos as a road base with tick tacs as the line markers. Grass was coconut with a few drops of green food colouring added to a bag and we rubbed it all together until it combined. Along the side of the curves in the road I put peppermint lifesavers that had been halved and placed upside down (cut side down). This was all put on top of buttercream icing and it tasted amazing.

Have fun with your decorating

Sounds great, sides aren't important and you'll already have a lot going on on top of the cake
