Tow Mater

Back when I was at the Tracks for the food show, I was approached by another lady who asked if I could make a Mater cake for her grandson's 4th birthday. I have never seen the movie cars so I stared at her blankly and asked what the heck is a mater cake lol. She then had to explain, and then thanks to smart phones and our technology a picture was brought up instantly and I then understood who he was. I said yes, even though it was by far the trickiest one to date. I was so pumped about it, cause this was my first 3D character cake. My husbands Aunt so nicely lent me her little tow mater car model that I could use as a reference. It was 10x better than looking at a picture, cause that way I was able to get all those little details. My husband also helped with the carving cause anything he touches looks amazing, so collectively we were able to carve out the perfect shape. And since I don't have an airbrush...yet lol I had to be a little creative. I loved this cake!
