3. Add the vanilla extract and continue to whisk by hand until the cream is smooth, and stiff peaks form (the cream will stand up straight when the whisk is raised).

Assemble the cake:



Take one part of the cake and apply thick layer of  whip frosting. Add cherries on the top and gently put another layer of cake. Now cover the whole cake with whip frosting and add chocolate shavings on all the sides.

Race Car Birthday Cake

We celebrated my son's birthday today. He is crazy about race cars. So, I decided to make race car cake for his birthday. I showed him couple of race car cake picture from Internet and then he started to design his own cake for his birthday :) So finally, we both come up with this design.

For cake I used Betty croker instant cake mix and substitute eggs with flex seeds powder. It tastes actually better with flex seeds than eggs. I made three 9 inches cakes. Two of them I used for the base and one to carve the car. I used fondant to cover the car and doors and windows. To give race track effect I used black icing ( mix black food color in icing) and make square around the side of the cake and made some grass on the side of the mud.
