Homemade Monster Truck Birthday Cake

Homemade Monster Truck Birthday Cake

My son always chooses his own birthday theme, and this year he wanted a Monster Truck cake for his fifth birthday party. I make all my kids' cakes each year and turn to this website for ideas. After browsing the many ideas on here, I chose the Monster Truck cake that used a mini-table for the platform. However, I would point out here that I found I needed more cake than that specified in the recipe so had to modify the size somewhat.

I baked a 1/2 sheet cake for the body and a 9" x 13" for the cab. I looked for a 6" bundt pan for the tires, but couldn't find one. Luckily, these chocolate mini-bundt cakes, which I used for the tires, are sold at a local grocery. I froze both layers to ease the trimming and shaping. It really wasn't very hard and I was happy with the results.
