I do make a lot of cars.
Almost one every week, and they all start the same way.
With a 10" square cake and a blue print. ;)
I do invest a lot of time on my carving and ganaching and I always make my fondanta lighter than the colour I want so I can play with my airbrush and add light and shade. I don’t like the shine on my car. It doesn’t come out nice on photos. But if the client ask I spray it with canola oil. It is perfect special if you do one day before. Is not to shine and adds a great extra to the car for the naked eye, not for photo but. ;)
