Supercross Cake



I recently made this cake for my boyfriend's birthday. I wanted to surprise him with a cake of something he loved, so I brainstormed some ideas and created this!

Details:
Classic Yellow Cake
Fudgy Chocolate Icing
Crumbled graham crackers
One whole doughnut (sounds crazy, i'll explain!)

I baked two layers of yellow cake, frosting inbetween as usual. I then did the sizes and most of the top. I cut a regular round doughnut in half and stacked them next to each other in the center of the cake. Then I covered it with frosting to create a mound/jump like they do in the supercross! After smashing some graham crackers with a meat thing (you know what i'm talking about) I sprinkled that on top.

My boyfriend's favorite rider is Ryan Dungey #5, so I bought his bike at walmart (kids section, thank you!) and put him in a "whip" position. Couldnt get him to stand though! I made all the settings with paper and acrylic paint, and bought some "sparkling" candles to go off just like at the races!

So fun to see a lit up! I was happy :]
