Lightening McQueen Cupcakes

As I was walking into work, my coworker/boss/good friend was taking an order.  This gentleman wanted cupcakes with Lightening McQueen on them.

My boss/coworker/good friend thinks I am a magician and can do anything =).  (I appreciate the compliments, however, sometimes the orders I get make me scratch my head for a few minutes while I figure out just how to do them. )  So she agreed, and here is what I came up with. 

I made McQueen out of buttercream.  I pipped them out and using a small spatula I was able to form them into the car shape.  I decorated with buttercream.  

The difficult part was that they had to go on the standard size cupcakes.  This means not a lot of real estate.

Oh also this was due for the next day!  So here is what I came up with.  I think they could have been done better, but with my other orders I did not have a huge amount of time to mess with them. 

Again sorry images are not the best. Camera on phone was used.
