Cake
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. I'm not really good with baking, I can make simple cakes. But my nephew's birthday was coming up, and I wanted to surprise him with a beautiful cake. I've only worked with fondant once before, and that was on a regular round cake. But as they say, everyone has a first time. I chose a car shape as the base and got to work. The baking is done. Serve it at the table.
Instructions

Step 1
The first thing we need to do is bake a sponge cake using our signature recipe and leave it to cool.

Step 2
While the biscuit is baking, let's cut out the car base — the shape it should have, so that later we can cut all the biscuits not "by eye."

Step 3
We assemble our car. Place the biscuit on the mold, trim it to the shape of the template, and spread with cream (I used white chocolate-based cream). Shape our future car.

Step 4
Here's what the car looks like. Place the car-shaped cake in the refrigerator to soak for about 2-3 hours.

Step 5
While the cake was in the refrigerator, we started making the small details. Everything was made from white fondant; the pieces were cut out and then painted with food coloring in various colors.

Step 6
It's time to take the cake out of the refrigerator and tidy it up. Now take a sharp knife in hand and trim off the excess, shaping the cake to resemble a car.

Step 7
Spread the cream all over the cake and refrigerate overnight or for 6-7 hours.

Step 8
Now we need to make the wheels. You can use round-shaped cookies and cover them with black-colored fondant. Make the windows tinted :).

Step 9
On the second day, we'll work on the white fondant for the entire car. Roll out a large piece of fondant and cover the car-shaped cake with it. Smooth it out by hand and trim off the excess. It turned out pretty well. Back into the refrigerator overnight.

All that's left is to decorate: attach the wheels, blinkers, letters, and headlights. Paint the bottom of the car using a brush and food coloring.
