First make two chocolate cakes.
Stick them together with buttercream, and carve into a car shape (at this point I should have taken a picture, but was so engrossed that I forgot), then cover in buttercream.
Apply a layer of white fondant, smooth and trim all round.
Then start applying the detail, windows and lights first...
...stripes, grill, and top light bar...
...more stripes, wheels, some lettering, a black strip around the bottom to 'lift' it, and a number on top...
...and voila! The finished article.
