The race is on -- to this fun, simple Indy race car cake

The race is on at the Indy 500!  Watching this amazing race is a tradition at my house -- a family tradition.   There's usually never a dull moment.   However, your family and friends will race to the table to get a piece of this cute race car cake.  It's a very simple cake to make for race day or a racing fan.   It only requires a 9-inch square cake and some decorations that you can find in your local supermarket.   For this cake, I used a vanilla wafer for the driver, some rolled fruit for the car number and stripe.  Two Ding Dongs worked nicely as the wheels.   With my downloadable cut up cake pattern and cake decorating ideas, you can easily create a Race Car Cake shaped cake for a birthday party, a kids birthday party, a racing fan, a tailgate party at the racetrack, a day at the go-cart racetrack, or while watching Indy cars race this season.  As you can see, no cake decorating tools or skills required.  Make this cake today for your racing fan Dad on Father's Day!
