As I mentioned in my previous post, it was my son’s birthday. He wanted a fire engine cake. Baking is not one of my strong points.
This was last years effort
The bottom one is mine, top one is what its meant to look like.
This year’s effort
It went really really really wrong. So I turned it into a race car 
It did taste nice though so that is one thing

The effort has to be applauded, definitely. Glad it tasted well too. I get so intimidated by actual pictures of food sometimes I can’t even attempt them.:-)
Happy belated birthday to the young one!
