RACETRACK CAKE :: CAKE DECORATING TUTORIAL :: MAKING LUKE'S 7TH BIRTHDAY CAKE

My cake decorating videos have been very highly requested, so here is the Hot Wheels Racetrack Cake I made for Luke's 7th birthday!! This was made in the middle of our move, so it wasn't as fancy as some of the other cakes I've made, but he loved it just the same! Which is all that matters lol I also have Liam's Polar Express Cake in the process of being edited. That one was a little more in depth, but it should be uploaded soon as well! I hope you enjoyed the video of this racetrack cake coming together!! Let me know if you would like a recipe video on the cake or a tutorial on how I make the marshmallow fondant! Also be sure to follow me on Instagram so we can connect there too : ) Don't forget to subscribe for more videos, and if you're new to my channel, be sure to say hello in the comments below : ) Thanks so much for watching!!

I make such crazy cakes too for my niece, my 2 nephews and the children of good friends. In Germany it's not that common like in the US. And I know what hard work such a cake means. But also it's like meditation for me and it's so amazing to see this bright smiles in the faces of the kids. So worth all the work. Absolutly well done, Amanda.👏👏👏 Your cakes are beautiful.

Wow that looks amazing 👏🏻 You are very talented 😊 Do you make cake pops with the cake scraps ???

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Aneta thank you!! ♥️ I actually don’t... we usually just snack on the cake scraps... but that is a brilliant idea! Do you just mix it with some frosting?! YUMMM

[@anetkak1984]

This Crazy Life yes just mix with some frosting and after they set dip it in some chocolate ..... so easy and oh so yummy 😊

[@subahsaleha3699]

[@londonlala541]

Hello what size cake pan did you use and can we have the recipe for the cake itself

[@katielandis1677]

Wow ! How long did it take to make? Are u a cake decorator as well? 😀

[@ThisCrazyLife]

katie landis I think it was about two hours maybe? (Not including actually baking the cake lol) 😉 and I’m not a cake decorator, I just make them for our boys on their birthdays. It’s been such a fun tradition! ♥️

[@camilleabbate3693]

Amazing. xoxo Can you share your fondant recipe please?

[@ThisCrazyLife]

CAMILLE ABBATE yes! I just use the marshmallow fondant recipe from the Wilton website, but I may do a video on it in the future 😉

[@camilleabbate3693]

[@ThisCrazyLife]

I added in some black cake decorating food coloring ♥️

[@brianacoulter4579]

You should do this professionally! Even if I did have the talent, I sure don't have the patience!

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Briana Coulter lol I’ve made cakes for friends in the past, but I think the cakes I make for my boys is plenty for me🙈😂♥️
