Vaniensamayalarai: Car Fresh Cream cake

Car cake is baked for my lovely son naveen's Birthday on 14 augest 2015, yes his 10th birthday, times to flies, my little son is 10 year old now....When i decided to bake a cake for him.... I have set my mind to make a car cake or chotabheem cake... Then i plan to make car cake to my lovely son.... Friends asked me why car cake? Is it he likes car ? Is it his favourite colour is orange? My replied was that boy's favourite one car.. so plan to make this...

Well, actually when mixing the colour into whipping cream... I should have choose other colours also e.g. blue, yellow, green.... The amount of colour that i used really scared me...I think this will be the 1st and might be the last time... I will make orange colour cake.. I have to tell all my guests that you can change the colour any of your choice... This cake is my suprise gift to my son on his birthday function...This is a thrilling experience to me to give this suprise cake....

There are was a lot of work in this cake? no it is simple to make... I bake two times the cake and to get the right amount.... I make a bowl ful of whipping cream and use in this cake... I mix the colour batch wise it is more useful to me... I prepared the cake in my A.C. room because the coloured whipped cream also soften very fast in room temperature... I can pipe for a while and the whipped cream need to chill before i can continue, and spend lot of time on moving the cake and whipped cream in and out the fridge......

When i gave my suprise my cake to my son he had no words to explain it... He jumped over me and tid me... I am very happy in that moments...Although is not easy to churn out this cake, the cake is not perfect and there are a lot of flaws.. But i felt so satisfied after of the completion of the cake, especially when I took out the cake and can hear the non- stop "wow" from my guests....hee hee hee...

I thank my brother dinakaran to encourage me to prepare this cake... And i thank my hubby too...to encourage me and he help me a lot on decorating the cake, Thanks dear....

This cake has been in the fridge for a day, because of fresh wipping cream frosting.... Hope you try and i would love it to hear good comment from you about the cake....
