Homemade Dump Truck Cake
For this Dump Truck Cake I baked two cake mixes in loaf pans and cooled. I placed one cake upside down (to give it a lifted appearance). I cut off a piece of the second cake to form the cab and placed it atop the first, adhering with frosting. I also cut off another, much smaller piece and placed it just behind the cabin (this will help the bed look lifted).
Then I frosted all of this yellow. Using the remaining piece of cake, I sculpted the bed, hollowing out the center just a little bit. Prefrost portions of the bed before placing onto the cake. Finish frosting the bed and fill with chocolate rocks. Attach chocolate donuts for wheels, orange m&m's for lights, black licorice for grill and decorating gel for windows.
