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<\/a>\u00a0 (left) and a super hot sports car from McGreevy Cakes<\/a> (right).<\/p>\n
