I feel the wife really topped herself on this one. Sure you can get a cake with the road on it at the local grocery store but it wouldn’t be a separate layer and it would taste the same as the rest of the frosting. It is unusual to see the road extend over the sides to me yet I defer to her judgment, she’s the honors graduate from culinary school, I’m the guy who does what the package tells him to do.
We’re both waiting for a response from Mark and Kathleen [Evan’s parents] to see how it went over with all the guests, anything with sugar is a hit with children, and a picture with the cars they put on it. The chocolate road was laid out to Hot Wheels scale.
The cake was a smashing success! Evan loved it. The kids loved it. The adults loved it. It looked as good as it tasted and everyone thought it was very clever. I told everyone present that if they ever needed a custom cake, I know the expert!
I took some pics with and without the Hot Wheels on it and will forward them to you. Definitely a winner! Thank you Somara!
