You will have to call a cake shop and have them make one custom. You will prolly need to bring them a couple photos and order it way in advance. Also, It will most likely cost way more than its really worth.

Think so?
I have called just about every baker in town, and no one has offered to make a tin....
I guess I need to ask, and how much it would be...
Thanks

Might get an outline of a vette and do the 'body work' yourself then frost over the evidence.

I know I have seen decorators make cars out of sculped cake before. Basically you make a two layer sheet cake and then before you ice the cake you sculp the shape of a car out of the sheet cake and then ice and decorate as you like. It's a good way to get the exact shape you want. You could draw a side view of a car on a piece of paper and use it for a side of the cake stencil, and then make a top view stencil for rough cuts, then take a small knife for finer cuts. That way you get the exact side and shape cake that YOU want. Good Luck!

Re: Waaaaay off topic......but i need help (dreamingbaby)
i watched my ex mother in law do cakes before.... she did a car cake and what she did was use a sheet cake, trimmed it to the shape, used the leftover pieces (that i didnt manage to scarf down) to make the roof area and pretty much used the frosting as body filler to make it all tie together... one thing i noticed that made things smooth out was to dip the frosting blade in warm water to smooth it out...
