Race Car Cake (Lightning Mcqueen Reprica)

It's my boy's birthday and he is a big fan of CARs, Trains, Bus, anything to do with wheels.
Hence, search the internet for designs of Cars, managed to find Lightning Mcqueen, including the piping of the design.

Here I go, head to Phoon Huat on monday, so disappointed that the car pan is sold out, however, managed to reserve one and transferred it to the branch near my vanity.

It was Wednesday, went to get the pan. I was so disappointed again! The race car pan is Not Lightning Mcqueen. But...

Nevertheless, bake this cake this morning with the car pan. I had only filled the pan upto half full, and had the balance bake in the Bunt pan.

I thought, this is too thin for slicing into 2 layer. And somehow feel that the cake will not taste nice.
This is the balance batter that I put them in the bunt pan.
Disarster!.. The cake is not to my expetation!

So, I quickly search my recipe for another easy to make recipe: Tradition Sponge Chocolate Cake. This is perfect except for some flour that is trapped and not fully mixed!

Since the cake is done, I make the buttercream icing while waiting for it to cool down. Here's my tools!

It was difficult to get the correct red for the original Mcqueen and here is mine!

Happy 3rd Birthday to my boy, hope his classmate will like the cake tomorrow when I bring it to his school!
