If the 3D part is made from a separate cake you can just slip that part off and cut the round layer cake. Then you can give the 3D part to the person you made the cake for. If the round cake is not big enough to serve everyone else then you can slice the 3D cake and serve that also. If the cake is huge and it's too difficult to remove the 3D part then just slice the 3D part down to the layer cake first and when you're done with the 3D part start on the layer cake.How do I cut a round layer cake with a 3D shaped cake on top?
Two ideas:
1) You could either place the 3D car cake on a cake board cut the same size as the cake, so you could remove it from on top of the round layer before cutting. This should make it easier to remove rather than just using a spatula, which is not going to completely fit under that car cake.
2) You could simply cut it normally in slices/wedges, and just make the pieces that would have both cakes very tall and narrow.
I also like the idea of giving the car cake to the person you made it for!
Happy Baking and Good Luck!

I would either slice and serve the car first, or remove the car prior to slicing and let the guests decide whether they want a slice of the round cake or the car cake (since 3-D cakes are usually made with a heavier batter, and the round, I'm assuming, is regular cake batter then they would get a choice as to which is their favorite). Simply slide a large, metal spatula under the cake (sometimes using 2 works better, one in front and one on side, to help stabilize), and lift the car cake off and onto a cutting surface.
The cake you're making is a cute one. When my son was going through a car phase at 2, I made the Wilton 3-D car and placed it on top of a large sheet cake, which had a road iced diaganolly onto the top. That was one of the cutest cakes I decorated.
Good luck with the serving!!
try using a metal wire to cut them out
