Hi - It wasn't too difficult I made the individual cakes and put ribbons round the cake and the silver foil strips for the drums - the symbols were plates covered in gold foil and all of it stood on a stand that I actually borrowed but i know you can hire these from cake bake stores

How do you put the whole thing together? What did you use to decorate the drums? What did you use for the symbol?

Carol this looks like an amazing cake - did you make it yourself, if so you are very creative, I'm sure Tom must have loved it?

1. Sift the dry ingredients THREE times to make this sponge light and fluffy.
2. Beat the eggs then add in sugar and keep beating in a mixer until white thick and creamy.
3. Add vanilla to eggs and sugar
4. Add in dry ingredients slowly and meanwhile put milk and butter into a saucepan and heat up slowly until it bubbles and rises.
5. Once you have finished adding in dry ingredients - pour in the bubbling butter and milk mixture.
6. Pour into 2 greased 8" cake tins and cook in a hot preheated oven (190) for 20 minutes. Then leave to cool and ice with my buttercream icing.

Make the cake by heating oven to 180oC, greasing 2 round cake tins.
Put all cake ingreidients into food processor and mix together until smooth.
Divide between the two tins and bake in oven for about 25 minutes or until middle is cooked and it is starting to come away from sides.
Once cooked turn out onto cooling rack until cold.
To decorate:
Cut small semi circle out of one cake so when put together it looks like an 8. Cut both cakes in half horizontally and fill with jam and butter cream.
Using piping bag, pipe green icing all over. Put chocolate sprinkles in shape of an 8 and decorate this bit with small white lines to look like a road markings. Place small cars on road.
