Homemade Fire Engine Birthday Cake

Homemade Fire Engine Birthday Cake

This fire engine birthday cake was the second cake I made from the movie Cars. It was made for my son's 3rd birthday. He wanted "Red" the fire engine. It was a chocolate cake covered in marshmallow fondant.

I used almond bark for the ladder and side panels of the truck. The wheels were wooden wheels purchased at Hobby Lobby. I used the wheels with dowel rod axles to support the cake board and lift the cake off of the ground.

The other fixtures on the truck were made from fondant and gum paste. I used silver luster dust for the metallic surfaces.

If possible I would like step by step directions for this cake. The fondant and outside i believe i can handle, but what did you find to be the best way to form the cake, and what is it sitting on to be raised. You did an awesome job!!

 Red Birthday Cake - Instructions
by: Michelle from South Africa

Wow, what a lovely birthday cake. We will be celebrating my son's 4th Birthday in July and he has asked for a Fire Engine Birthday!

I started looking on the net for a suitable birthday cake as my husband and I always make his cakes for him. As my son absolutely adores CARS, your cake just stood out for me. I think I will score big mommy points if I am able to pull this cake off for him :-).

Are you able to tell me how you did it?

Well done on a spectacular cake!

Regards,

Michelle
