Mustang GT 5.0 Cake


So here's the latest cake. This is a replica of my husband's beloved race car. It is a 1986 Mustang GT convertible. It has been through thick and thin, so this was definitely going to be my husband's 30th birthday cake. It was a vanilla pound cake on top, devil's food on bottom with a dulce de leche filling and chocolate icing. Fondat on top of course with fondant and gum paste accessories. Now getting the color right was actually the hardest part. Neither my compressor air gun set up nor the spray can of food safe spray would get it black. So I ended up doing some gel food color diluted in Vodka to hand paint the thing. I have to say, it finally turned out the color it was supposed to be. Hope you guys enjoy!




Here's a picture with the windshield on....I actually think it looked better without.
And here's the happy birthday boy.
