2 From the foam core cut where

indicated to insert and hot glue a

straw. Hot glue all bases together

like a sandwich. Make sure that

your skewer can slide comfortably

inside the straw.

1 Using template provided, trace

and cut base of cake from the MDF

board, foam core and cake board.

3 Using your base as a template,

cut it from your 25cm cake.

4 Now using a blueprint or

template provided, carve around

the image, first from the top view

then side view. Don’t forget to

remove space for wheels.

5 After carving, ganache and

refrigerate the cake.

6 Once ganache has set hard,

cover with sugaraste and indent all

marks necessary. Use your template

to mark all windows and any

features that the car has.
