1972 Chevelle Malibu

Ohhh, the dreaded car cake! These are hard enough to make, but this baby was a doozy!! Just as I was finishing up final touches on it, I noticed the back end of the car had cracked and fell off....I underestimated the weight of the fondant, and with the car being raised it lacked support. My car crashed, and took a one way trip to the trash can. I have patched up cakes before, but I am not a magician. The cake was not salvagable. I was devestated! Thankfully the party I was making it for wasn't until the next day, so I stayed up most of the night making a whole new cake. The second cake actually turned out better, and I even recieved a standing ovation when I delivered it! I like car cakes with happy endings.
