After the last two weeks of doll cakes and princess castle cakes, it’s time to turn our attention to cakes for boys. There’s no better birthday cake for a boy – whether a little one or a grown-up one – than a fantastic 3D car cake. And we have two of the best above with a snazzy red Lightning McQueen car from Bake A Boo Cake Design  (left) and a super hot sports car from McGreevy Cakes (right).

We have some great car cake tutorials for you starting with a Ferrari car cake tutorial here from Cakes Step by Step (below).
