Homemade John Deere Tractor Cake

Homemade John Deere Tractor Cake

My Dad John, collects tractors, toy and real. They are his life. I was asked to create a John Deere Tractor cake for his 71st birthday. I included my memory of him and I as a child with him on the tractor.

I used gumpaste, fondant, buttercream with a yellow cake dyed green and yellow for the 4 layers. Tractor and accessories all done by hand.
I never went to school to bake or had any professional training. I was very happy with the end results, although very time consuming to create with such details. I hope you enjoy seeing it.

 "AWESOME" cake
by: Felicia

This cake is amazing. I've been looking for something like this for a friend of mine who has a garden. If you are willing to share, I would love to have instructions from beginning to end on how you put this cake together. How did you make the tractor, vegetables, man, cart. Your work is awesome and so detailed. You must have worked on this for a while. Your help would be greatly appreciated. I only have a week to come up with soothing and would love to surprise him with something like this. He would absolutely love it. Thank you so much for your help.

My goodness. I thought, "wow, I cannot even ask my baker to do this or they will flip out over all the details..." I can't believe you did this yourself and you aren't in the cake business. Amazing!

 Best one I have seen
by: S. Turner

This is the best farm cake ever. My niece just got married and I made this cake for her husband as the grooms cake. I wrote on the side "The Farmers" this is his last name. The cake was the hit at the wedding reception.
The was not a morsle of cake left. I gave you all the credit as I copied your cake. Great idea.

As a cake maker myself, I can tell by looking that a lot went into this cake. I had the same idea in mind for a cake for my father-in-law, with the John Deere tractor and the garden. It's really beautiful seeing the finished product. I was trying to find one for my 4 yr. old turning 5, because (like Grandpa) he wants a John Deere cake, and I saw yours while I was looking at some for him.
