"Everyone gets fired up when they see my Racetrack Cake," shares Amber Kimmich from Powhatan, Virginia. "For the track and pit stop area, I use gray icing outlined with yellow frosting gel. Edible green glitter designates the grass areas, and miniature racecars look so cute speeding around the track."
