Ben's aunt asked me to make a cake for her son's 16th birthday celebration.  We contemplated a fish since he's really into fishing or a baseball cake since he's a big Cardinals fan.  But, it is his 16th, so we kept coming back to the idea of a car cake.  That seemed a bit challenging for me.  So, I spent a little time googling car cakes, and my husband came up with the brilliant concept of a license plate cake.  So, here you have it.  I think it turned out great, and the birthday boy was thrilled.  Yay!
