Cool Homemade 3D Fire Truck Cake With Doughnut Wheels

This is my first fire truck cake. I used the 12×18 sheet pan – I made 2 cakes (4 cake mixes). I cut each cake in half and filled it with buttercream. The bottom layer has dowels for supports and a cake cardboard is in the middle for extra support.

Most of the decorations I made ahead of time with royal icing. When it was dry I painted them with shimmer dust and vodka (you can use a clear vanilla). The wheels are krispy kreme doughnuts. I bought mini doughnuts to use but they were way too small. After placing them in the cake I piped the black stars with tip #18.

  1. I have seen a TON of fire truck cakes while researching one that I wanted to do for my son, and this is by far one of the best. This is usually my favorite site to come to when checking out cakes and this one must be new to here because it surely wasn’t here when I first checked just about a month ago or so.
