Racetrack Cake
Drop the checkered flag and begin baking this
cake, featuring pit-stop-fast assembly.
• 2 baked 9" round cakes
• 3 cups white icing
• 1 to 2 cups finely
crushed chocolate cookie crumbs
• 1 to 2 cups green
sprinkles
• White Good &
Plenty candies
• Checkered paper or
ribbon
• 2 toothpicks and
tape
• New toy cars, washed
with soap and water
Step 1:
Cut a small semicircular
notch from one cake, then position the cakes as shown and cover them with
the white icing.
Step 2:
Place a small bowl in
the center of each cake and sprinkle cookie crumbs around it to create the
track.
Step 3:
Remove the bowls and
sprinkle sprinkles onto each icing circle, then press the remaining sprinkles
onto the sides of the cake for grass.
Step 4:
Lay a white Good &
Plenty dotted line along the track and use a pastry bag to pipe a white icing
border around the edge of the cake.
Step 5:
Create racing flags
by taping small squares of the paper or ribbon to the toothpicks and place
them on the track along with the race cars.
