One of Joanne's co-workers has a son who just turned 13. For his party, his mom wanted a cake that he would really like; something that suited him. So, she decided to go for a cake with his favourite car: the Lamborghini Gallardo.
We took the picture of the car and added the number 13 onto its door to make it look like a race car. Then, we printed it onto rice paper so that we could place it onto the cake.
The cake is a moist, two-layer chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream - yup, it's got the word 'butter' twice, which just means it's delicious. We then covered it with black fondant (now one of Joanne's favourites!) and some flames in orange, yellow and yellow/orange marble fondant.
Here's what we heard back:
"The cake was a great success with my family and our son's friends.....the boys especially liked the "cool car" and "flames". They kept asking where did your Mother get that cake, was it Sobeys or Superstore? Of course the adults said it must have come from a specialty bakery.....
It was hard to convince everyone to cut the cake but once they tasted the wonderful flavour and since I did not tell anyone about the tasty peanut butter filling they were very glad to have cut into the cake and even have seconds. The combination of chocolate and peanut butter flavours were a big hit with everyone. Also, the adults were very pleased that the taste of "black" fondant was so nice. I myself wondered if it would be strong like licorice but it was just perfect!!
Thanks again to both of you for such a wonderful cake."
