Race Car Birthday

Cake

Bake your favorite 8 or 9 inch square cake and one 8 or 9 inch round cake. Either grease and flour the cake pan well or grease and add waxed paper in the bottom of the pans.  When done let cool for 10 minutes in the pan the loosen side and invert on a rack to cool completely.  To make frosting easier, freeze cakes for a few hours.  Trim both cakes and cut the round cake in half.  Place one side on each end of the square cake on a covered cake board.  Place waxed paper under the sides of the cake to protect the cake board from the frosting.  Frost the whole cake with chocolate frosting the make an oval on the inside of the cake and fill with green sprinkle for the grass.  The outside will be the race track.  Decorate with clean toy race cars and checkered flags.  Carefully pull out the waxed paper.

Games

If you have an electric race track, you can let the kids race each other.  If you don't have a race track you can make your own by stacking up blocks and the side of a cardboard box and have the kids race the cars down it.  Give the winner a checkered flag or some small toy, like a matchbox race car.
