Keeping with the Cake Tradition...

I haven't had a chance to post anything that I have created recently!  It's been a crazy past couple weeks.  Besides being in the hospital, (again) I finally finished the other three Disney Autograph Books!  That is a huge relief!  I dropped them off at my brother's house tonight, and they are off for D-land tomorrow!! :)  I can't wait to see how many autographs they get! 

Keeping with the topic of my post... My nephew's birthday was the first week of Feb.  I made him a [Disney/Pixar] Cars cake.  I really, really loved it.  

I made just a plain red paper cake to start.  (Cut with the Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More Cricut Cartridge, cake pieces cut at 9".)  I then made the road signs from the Cars Cricut Cartridge at 2" for all signs.  These would be the decorations for the side of my 'cake.'  

I then welded four of the curved road pieces, (on my Gypsy) into a complete circle, going for the race-track look.  

I popped it up with foam dots on a scalloped circle base.  This is the top of my cake.  The 'frosting.'    Then I started building up from there.  I added the checkered flags and propped them way up!  I think I used eight foam dots piled one on top of the next.  

Next, I made a big Lightning McQueen for the top!  

This cake was filled with Dum Dum suckers, because that is my nephew's favorite candy.  I think I was able to fit about 200 suckers in it!! Haha.

Here are a few more pictures of it: 

Thanks so much for looking! :)
