Keeping in mind this is my first time ever carving a three dimensional cake, and my second time ever working with fondant, I don’t think he came out half bad!

He definitely looks best from the front (no he’s not missing a side view mirror – he’s an old car, thus he only had one!)

The side…eh…not overly pleased, but I can see where I made some mistakes in shaping now.

His roof came out great because of the rippled sunroof.  The stripes should have extended a little further.

    Wow! Herbie looks awesome! Gosh, it doesn’t seem possible that it can be a year since you were decorating invidual Cars cakes for his last birthday. Looks like you’re ready for Ace of Cakes!

    I really need this cake! My husband is turning 53 on Feb 12th and my cake decorator is having problems figuring out how to make a Herbie cake. Will you email me any suggestions that you have that I could pass on to her? Thanks!
