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.

What a great idea! I love that you didn't have to use a form pan.

Cute cake
by: Deb

I am going to attempt to make this cute cake for my grandson's 2nd birthday this weekend. The directions seem very clear and it does not seem too difficult. I will post how it comes out. Thanks for sharing this wonderful idea.

Coolest Cake Ever
by: Gary W. Williams

This has got to be the coolest cake I have ever seen! And made from scratch, not some pattern out of a book. Very impressive!
