Driving In The Safe Lane

SADD 2011

What an amazing night! I was so happy to do this cake for my friends at my old school. They had a few speakers come in and talk about the dangers of being stupid while driving. Some things they spoke about were drinking, texting, and having too many people in a car along with not wearing any seat belts. I wasn't planning on staying but after hearing what the presentation was about I decided to educate myself a little, lol. Anyway, enough about the presentation, even though I could say so much, lets talk about the cake. So the cake was vanilla with chocolate filling and lets just say huge is an understatement. I mean this cake was seriously gigantic, it was 4 sheet cakes about 17in long lined up with another 4 on top, so 8 sheets. I then carved it just enough to give it that "bumpy land" look. Then  I covered the entire cake in green fondant, with fondant balls as the border, and strips of black fondant to look like roads. I also cut out little yellow rectangles to look like the dotted lines in the roads. After the roads were in place it was time to make the cars. They were made out of white chocolate that I colored with different types of luster dust. To finish the cake off I cut out and painted the words "driving in the safe lane," the slogan of the night, and "SADD 2011" onto the cake. The perfect finishing touch!
