I made this Mack the Truck Birthday Cake for my son’s 3rd birthday. I used some of the ideas from the cakes previously posted here. I baked two 9 x 13 pans cakes (one chocolate and one vanilla) and two loaf pans (one chocolate and one vanilla).
I cut the 9 x 13 pan cakes in half and stacked them, alternating flavours and using icing in between layers to help glue them together. Then I cut the loaf pans and assembled the truck part and Mack’s hat. For this part I actually used an image of Mack from a toy to try and create the cab. I used chocolate chips for his eyes and peppermint patties for the wheels. I cut out “wheel wells” so the peppermint patties would sit under the cake because the cake was too heavy to raise.
I printed off pictures from the web for the Rusteeze logos (using photo paper) and used icing to glue them to the cake. I used straws covered in grey icing for the smoke stacks. The rest I decorated with tinted icing.
I would love to find someone to make this for my son his birthday is in 2WEEKS . The person who did this did an a. mazing job
PERFECT CAKE
My son is turning 3 in 8 wks. His theme is Cars and he loves big rigs, since his daddy is a truck driver!! I have been looking for a Mack Cake, and this one is spectacular!!!! I am going to try and recreate it… I doubt I will be successful but this is amazing and I am super excited now to go and try it out…
I love this cake!!
How did you frost it???
If I could see the whole picture and read the entire method to make the cake I would so much happier. But the adds down the side cover half the recipe and picture.
