Green Gargling Garbage Truck Cake

Green Gargling Garbage Truck Cake

I used two 9x13 chocolate cakes, one for the body and the other for the wheels of this garbage truck cake. Froze the cake and then cut in the shape of the garbage truck to match the birthday invitation.

Frosted the entire cake with a thin layer of icing. Froze cake again, then used green and gray frosting for the body. Piped the details on the exterior of the truck. Used the star tip to fill in the fenders, windows, and other areas. Cut three circles of cake from the second 9x13 cake and frosted them black. Used the star tip for the hubcaps.

I blew up the invitation to the size I wanted the cake. Then I cut it out and used it as a template. Simply laid it on the cake and cut around it.

did you use a pan or free hand it? Where did you get the invitation. My son is obsessed with Waste management and I am at a loss! Any advise would be great!
