The Pinenut's first birthday cake for his party this afternoon! Handmade (not a cake pan shaped like a 1) and decorated to match the tableware:

The little cake in the upper left is for smashing.

I am thrilled with all of the cakes, what a stunning job everyone has done! I have never made cakes like these before, but I am surely inspired to try! :)

Here's the figure 8 dirt track hot wheels cake I made for DS's family birthday party. I made one half chocolate and one half rainbow party sprinkles. I doctored the box mix by adding 1 c flour to the mix. Then, I omitted the water and oil. In a separate bowl, I creamed 1 stick butter with 2/3 c sugar, added 3 eggs, and mixed in 1 c sour cream. Then, I alternated adding the dry ingredients and 1 c milk to the wet ingredients. This made a delicious, moist, pound cake consistency. I chickened out on layering the cakes after baking then in springform pans.

The track is covered in Oreo Cookie crumbs "dirt", so the white dots shifted a little during the 3 hour drive to my MIL's house. I tried to fix, but had no supplies aside from toothpicks.

This is the "After" picture.

Here's the cupcake cake version of the race track cake for DS's actual bday party with his friends.

and the side view:

It was so yummy, too thanks to ASweetHeart's super yummy frosting recipes.

Alicia!

ETA: I didn't realize how many crumbs there were under the cupcakes until I looked at the pics in this post. Wow! No wonder I had so much to sweep up in the kitchen!
