Time for something sweet!
A coworker asked me to make this cake for her BFF's 40th Birthday. She bought the action figure, and wanted me to use it on the cake. Her friend is a huge Nascar fan, and has a thing for Tony Stewart.
The cake is a 2 layer chocolate fudge with a Kahlua cream filling. The frosting is Kahlua buttercream, except for the autograph and numbers which are royal icing. This was a pretty easy cake to decorate, except for getting the orange the right shade. I used a #16 open star tip for the whole thing.
They're having the party in a club/bar, so I'm betting that little Tony Stewart will be on the dance floor tonight!
Thanks for visiting my little blog,

Thanks for the comments ladies!
ReplyDeleteMy "real job" is a dental hygienist, so I have freakishly strong wrists and hands LOL! So a few little icing stars won't slow me down;)
For the cake recipe, go to my post "White Russian Anniversary Cake" (April 1) and use that recipe. It is my "go-to" recipe and it always turns out nice and moist. Just change the boxed ingredients (cake mix and puddings)to whatever flavor you want, and substitute the liquor for another flavor (or water). Trust me, it always turns out! Everyone always asks for my cake recipes, and they're always surprised it starts with a "mix". And do use the filling, it is nice and creamy and not too sweet.
Enjoy!
