cake decorating - Car racetrack?

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

I did a diggers number 2 cake that had green fluffy icing all over for grass. I iced it around the sides too and then decorated the top.

I've bought all my ingredients, green colouring and rectangle pan , that's all that could find. But its big enough.....
I also bought lifesavers the coloured ones for the track as suggested and I'm very excited to make it tomorrow, and then ice on Sunday ......I'll post a picture when it's all done .

Thanks for your help everyone!!!
