Coolest Dump Truck Cake 41

Homemade Dump Truck Cake
I made this dump truck cake for my friend's son's 4th birthday. This is the second cake I have made from scratch and decorated. I am just learning still and my friends and family are kind enough to let me experiment for their kids.
I made a chocolate cake from scratch which makes up the body and cab of the cake. I used Rice krispie treats as the wheels and for the bucket of the truck. I covered the chocolate buttercream frosting then with MM fondant. I found it very easy to make the fondant but not to color. I still have a lot to learn on how much gel food coloring to use to get the desired color of fondant.
I filled the bucket part of the truck with the left over chocolate cake I had from cutting out the shape of the truck. I added some chocolate buttercream frosting, chocolate sprinkles, and some candy rocks.
