A friend of mine asked me to bake her a cake for her sons 4th birthday. I was thinking of making a cake that looks like a truck, any ideas on the best way to do this? Or any site you can suggest?

I am going to google right now but thought I would ask on here :)

Thanks

    You could try going to a party store of some sort. They usually have different shaped cake molds that you can use. :smile:

    The simplest way to do it, is bake using either a square or rectangular tin, then cut them and pile them up into a cuboid. then 2/3 along the top carve a smallish hole in a line across the width of it about an inch deep, this will create the difference betwwen the cabin and the actual lorry. hope that helps

    Great ideas :) Thank you, I can't wait to start it. I used to work in a bakery and do cakes with toys n such on it, and airbrushing but I haven't done a cake in the actual shape of something. Plus I am doing this at home and I don't have all the neat equipment lol

    Best site ever... includes pictures and details... real cakes you can make at home... I didn't know what kind of truck you wanted but they have firetrucks, dump trucks, monster trucks, etc...

    I used cookies (Oreo's to be specific) for the wheels when I did my son's Firetruck. I also got the idea from the site that clintswife gave :) They have fantastic ideas!

    Doughnuts would be more realistic for wheels.... especially the crueller kind if doing monster trucks
