Bumper Car “Cakes”

With S’s birthday so close to Christmas, we decided that our family would celebrate half-birthdays. It gives us double the opportunity to attempt decorated cakes. These bumper car “cakes” are inspired by the book Cupcakes, Cookies, and Pie, Oh My! We used homemade donut halves in place of the storebought shortcake cups, so our cars ended up shorter. We might do it differently in the future. Also, we did fill the cars with ice cream, but owing to our tropical climate, we did not fill them until just before eating. As a result, we cannot share with you the full effect.
