Monster Truck Cake

My son just loves monster trucks and since I had just finished the Wilton classes I wanted to see what I could really do! I checked this site which gave me some of the ideas used with my monster truck cake. A few starting hints and then I took it from there.

This cake took me many hours but it was well worth it! I made the 3D Cruiser pan and cut it to more of a monster truck shape. I placed it on wooden blocks covered in tinfoil, then bought Crueller donuts and painted on chocolate. However, I would not do that again, I would definitely frost them. I attached them to the cake with toothpicks. I had the monster truck right next to me and just used that for decorating direction.

I used a buttercream frosting and to get the brown I just added a little baking chocolate and the darker brown I added the brown color to that.

This cake was a huge hit with kids and adults alike. They could not believe how much it looked like the real thing! The best part is almost a year later, my son still talks about his birthday cake and wants another monster truck cake!
