"Great Scott' it's a DeLorean Cake

 End result - one very happy customer - yay
 Four large chocolate cakes, cut into even layers (well almost)

Filled with super yummy caramel butter cream - 500 grams butter, softened and whipped, add one can Caramelised condensed milk and whip some more, then 1 kg of icing sugar and whip some more - no need to add milk as super soft anyway. I needed two batches of the mix for this large cake.

 One layer cake, one layer butter-cream, one layer cake, one layer butter-cream - you get the gist.....

 Place templates and carve accordingly - it actually is harder than it might look to get the straightest lines - and I did not get the best finish - not too bad, but hmmmmm




 Cover with butter-cream - just ordinary butter-cream this time, as a crumb coat.



 Four packets of fondant - fortunately it is mild weather and it blended quite easily.
 Add all of the necessary bits to finish off.  I had two sugar sheets made with wheel trim, rear lights and number plate and front windscreen, and these were a bit of a bugger to use this time.  They tore really easily (fortunately I had a double set made). All of the rest of the features are shaped from fondant.  This is the part I really enjoy.
