Meet your instructor, Mike McCarey, before you learn about the possibilities of car cake design and create a storyboard.
Cruise right into the action as you assemble and stack your cake with Mike's expert tips.
Release your inner sculptor (slash mechanic!) as you carve the sides and curves of the car before crumb coating and refining your design.
No car is complete without a sleek exterior. In this lesson, you'll roll out and apply the fondant before working on the wheel wells, side panels, base and more.
Mike guides you through techniques for creating and painting the tires and fenders, with details that will astonish and delight even the most skeptical critic.
Deck out the interior of your car as you add lining, make seats and design other amazing details that will bring the interior to life.
Put the finishing touches on your car with incredibly realistic doors, headlights, bumpers and even a steering wheel as your car becomes road ready.
Mike shares his secrets to creating the ultimate (and edible!) windshield from design to assembly before showing you how to put the final elements together.
