New York, New York: June 2011: Chevy takes the cake...for the highly anticipated new Transformers film.

Chef Buddy Valastro, star of the reality television series "Cake Boss," has created a massive 2,000 pound cake in the shape of Bumblebee - a character from the highly anticipated "Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon" film - straddling atop a Chevrolet Camaro!

Valastro's Bumblebee Camaro cake, which took approximately four days to make and was recently displayed in New York, consists of vanilla pound cake with butter-cream frosting. Rick Krispies treats were used to bind the cake at critical flex points.

The third installment of the popular Transformers series "Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon," directed by Michael Bay and starring Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, and John Turturro, debuts on June 29, 2011.

Valastro revealed that this cake was his biggest challenge to date and actually had to be made outside of his bakery due to the enormous size of this automotive confection!
