When Buddy Valastro, star of TLC’s “Cake Boss,” was asked to make a NASCAR-themed cake, the result was one of his most outrageous creations to date. The size of a real race car, the cake came complete with a hood that lifted to reveal the engine inside. “This NASCAR cake is amazing,” Valastro said during the “Cake Boss” episode.
“It took a team of 56 people and four days to complete this cake. It really, really looked like a NASCAR, it was the biggest cake I’ve ever frickin’ seen, it was huge.” So huge, in fact, it required 12,000 pounds of cake, 50 buckets of buttercream icing and 50 yards of fondant (which is equivalent to half a football field).
