About the course

Step into the driver’s seat of cake artistry with our Vehicle Cakes from TV & Movies course! Students will learn how to transform their favorite on‑screen rides into edible showstoppers. Using specialized structure kits, you’ll master the process of stacking, filling, and carving cakes into dynamic vehicle shapes. From there, you’ll explore how to ganache and cover your creations for a flawless finish, before diving into the finer details that make each car instantly recognizable—from sleek DB5 curves to the whimsical Ford Anglia tangled in the Whomping Willow. Along the way, you’ll discover techniques to bring cinematic icons like the Ecto‑1, Hogwarts steam train, DeLorean, KITT, and more to life in cake form. By the end of the course, you’ll have the skills to design edible vehicles that capture the magic of film and television, delighting fans and cake lovers alike.

Meet your Mentor

Hello, I’m Dawn Butler, the name behind Dinkydoodle. As a world-renowned cake artist and teacher, I’ve dedicated my career to inspiring and supporting cake makers of all levels.   Over the years, I’ve earned multiple gold medals in cake competitions, and in 2016, I proudly took home the highly coveted “Best in Show” prize at Cake International. I was also honoured as International “Cake Artist of the Year,” named one of the UK’s “Top Ten Cake Artists.”   More recently in 2024, I was inducted into the DMA’s Hall of Fame for my contributions to the sugar industry. But what I’m most proud of is the community we’ve built inside the Dinkydoodle Cake Academy.   Here’s something you might not know about me: I have dyslexia and ADHD. While some might see these as obstacles, I use them as superpowers. They help me break down complex techniques into their simplest forms, making it easier for anyone to follow along and achieve amazing results. You may spot the occasional spelling mistake, but I believe in being upfront and honest, and my students are always wonderfully supportive. If you’ve ever doubted your own abilities, or worried that learning something new might be out of reach, you’re in the right place. The Academy is a safe, encouraging space for everyone, myself included! I share my skills, expertise, and a good dose of fun, helping you build your confidence and creativity, one cake at a time. I can’t wait to see what you create!
