4. Pour into greased, floured pans.
5. Bake 30-35 minutes at 350 F, 180 C, check middle with chopstick; if it comes out clean, it's ready.

Icing

2. Add colour or cooa to change the colour.

Assembly

1. Build the shape up by stacking parts that were baked whole or cut shapes from the loaves you made, using icing to cement them together.
2. You can hide the pieces under a final coat of icing.
3. Make icing bags by cutting the corner off a plastic sandwich bag, filling it with icing, and sealing it.
4. Squeeze onto your car the details you want.
5. Marzipan can be rolled out with a bottle and painted with food dye to make additional details.
6. Chris made the windshield by placing hard round fruit candies in a touching grid on a nonstick baking sheet and baking them until they melted into a windshield (keep an eye, they melt quickly). score and break them, or melt them into the right shape.
7. They flatten into a check pattern if you alternate colours.
8. The more edible the parts, the more you get to eat.
