I am wanting to make an awesome Cake for my boyfriends birthday... He drives an xB and loves it. I am lost though and dont know where to begin with the cake. I am from Fort Worth, Texas. If you know any cake place around here that could help me out better that'd be awesome too. If you know how...email me and we will make this thang. :) ttys. <3 Chelsey

Get a picture of his car and take it to baskin robbins. They can air-brush a photo on it with colouring. l do not think you could make an xb shaped cake unless it was made in sections.

Chelsey-

There r a couple of ways u could do this, but l would make a multiple layer cake to start with then cut them into the proper shapes then cement them together with frosting.

l would suggest that u make at least one practice run on that project & Wiltons Cake Decorating on the internet for a little help.

l have done several projects like this, but l can tell u that taking a few classes from a local Wilton is Instructor is definately beneficial.

l am a Model Railroader, & u can guess what that means.

So l have a few Box Car cakes & a couple of Locomotive cakes under my belt.

But the Xb should be a fairly easy project. l normally start with a picture of what l want to create, then l start baking the sheet cakes to be carved & formed into the shapes l need to build the object.

l would suggest that u used the pressed sugar wheels if u can find them & stick those to the outside of the cake. If u r unsure, u might have to locate a specialty cake shop in ur area.

Infact, that may even be a better route, is to have the bakery build the cake for u if u do not have the time, or u feel this project may be a little beyond ur skills.

l have done that myself if the project becomes too time consuming & l felt it was beyond my skills to complete & make look nice.

Just be sure that u have some photos of the car so the bakery can duplicate the pictures as close as possible. Besides, that should be a fairly inexpensive cake to design, plus they may already have received an order in the past for a similar request.

But if it were me l think l would use a standard chocolate or white cake for the layers, & take ur pick on the Butter Cream Frosting.

Anyhow, good luck.

Buy a cake, throw it away and give him the box it came in.
