When I was a kid, Back to the Future was one of my favorite movies. When I met Chaddy later on in life, I found out it was one of his favorites too. We were thrilled when we got to make a Delorean cake for our friends back in 2009.

How easy is this cake? Well of course that depends on your skill level. I’ve been at it for about ten years and it takes me about four hours to do a cake like this.
