3D Tow Mater Cake Decorating Techniques

 Children usually want unusual cakes in shape of their favorite characters from cartoons. This cake is specially made for my little nephew who turned 4 last month. It took me whole day to make this cake look fabulous and I think I did it. Look my 3D Tow Mater cake decorating techniques if you decide to create this cake.

Tow Mater Cake

For this cake I baked two chocolate layers. First, I beat egg whites with sugar, then I added flour baking powder, vanilla extract and melted chocolate. I poured it into the greased and floured pan and baked in the preheated oven for about 30 min. I used one bigger and one smaller square pan. When the layers were baked I left them to cool.


Meanwhile I prepared chocolate butter cream. I beat eggs with sugar, added milk and cooked it on the steam until thicken. When the mixture was thicken I moved it from the heat and put in the fridge to cool. When cooled I added mixed butter and greased the layers with it. The whole cake I covered with chocolate fondant.

All the details on the car I made out of fondant as well as tires. I painted the car with the food color using paint brush. It was very hard to make all the details but it was worth it. I was astonished when I finished the cake and I think that you're going to like it too. Although I spent all day making 3D Tow Mater cake but kids on my nephew's birthday party were amazed claiming that they've never seen such lovely cake before.
