Argh. So, DS birthday next week He has begged for a party but I haven't been able to sort it out.
He has also begged for a Lightening McQueen Cake. So I have decided, I need to do that, if nothing else!
I found a few tutorials for how to carve one in terms of shape etc but, fondant?????

Where can I buy it? Is fondant the same is that orchard icing? Can I make my own?
How do i make it look smoothly moulded? My last attempt with that orchard stuff was so creased and cracked and awful.
What about colouring the icing? Where can I get gel colour (instead of food dye). I am leaving it so late to plan.
If all else fails i am going to fergusson plarre and getting a picture cake with him on it, but i do love baking and i want to give it a shot.

Any tips, ideas, physical help and instruction (lol) appreciated!
Thanks x
