This Fire Truck Cake was such fun. I used a raised board to make it look like it was up off the ground. I carved the cake and covered in fondant with fondant accents. I put a flashing light on the top of the engine. It was a hit at the party. The little boy … Read more
This homemade fire truck cake was made for a younger boys birthday. The lights on the front of the truck actually light. I painted them with red food coloring. The other lights are actually gummy bears cut in half, they looked just like the orange and yellow lights on top of the cab. The cake … Read more
A bride asked me to do a cake for her rehearsal dinner. She asked if I could do a three dimensional firetruck cake. I had never done one but why not. I used two 1/4 sheet pound cakes. I thought that regular cake would not be strong enough to keep the shape, especially when I … Read more
These are the type of kids cakes that are fairly simple to make. I took a 9×13 cake and cut it in half (long ways). One half served as the base of the cake and the second half is cut to make the cab of the fire truck. Black licorice for the ladders, chocolate cookies … Read more
Here is a fire truck cake I made for my husband when he got a firefighter job. I used pound cake. A whole loaf for the bottom and cut the other one in half and put it on top. I used red icing (which I couldnt find at the time so I had to create … Read more
This firefighter cake was made for a friend’s boyfriend who is a firefighter. I made the firefighter out of fondant icing mixed with some CMC powder I made him over a period of three days. The hat was a pain to do but I got there after oh about 8 attempts. I love the worried … Read more

My son is a fire engine fanatic! After looking around a little on the internet, I found this amazing site. I combined a few ideas and got his input as well. The fire engine cake is actually one large 13×9 cake that I refrigerated (to cut easier later). I split it down the middle and … Read more
Thanks to everyone who posts kids cakes on this website. I was able to gather a number of ideas to make my sons cake work for us. My son just loved the thin red licorice hose and the ladder made with chocolate icing. The best part was using Wilton’s ready-to-use rolled fondant icing. I bought … Read more
I wanted to make a 3-D fire truck cake for my sons third birthday. I thought of the idea after seeing a co-worker’s 3-D school bus cake he purchased for his child’s birthday. I thought “oh wouldn’t that be cool to do as a fire truck? I can do that”. When I expressed the idea … Read more
We used this small fire hydrant cake as the 1 year cake the birthday boy gets to dig in to. To make, we baked 3 small cakes in creme brulee dishes and then used a cup cake for the round top. We stacked the 4 pieces, putting icing in between the layers for stability and … Read more
