IndyCar Race Car Cut Up Cake

Everyone will race to the table for this race car cake!

Today I plan to watch the IndyCar race at Milwaukee.  I hope that the weather is not a problem.   Since I recently changed my television channel line-up, I only get to see the IndyCars race when broadcast on the major networks.  Here's a cute, 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!
