Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Cake

Last year, we were contacted  and asked to a make this cake for a lady's birthday. We are not quite sure of the story behind it, but this is what we  made for the 1st of July party.
Making the cake required a lot of patience. It required many teeny weeny details to make it look like the real thing. With the exception of the windscreen, the cake is all edible.

Cake Stackers - Anyone seen these amazing cake stands?

Found these website while I was surfing the internet. The cake stands are pretty cool and looks like you can make some gravity-defying cakes with them. When I first watched the video and saw how the 3 tier cake was being swung around and turned up-side-down, I told myself it was not a real cake. But alas! she cut into it with a knife and there it was - real cake!
Watch this video:



Want to know more, here is the website
