This army tank birthday cake was for my 3 year old son, who is mad about soldiers. I used a loaf tin to make a thick sponge, and bought two large chocolate Swiss rolls. I cut the large Swiss rolls down so they were slightly longer than the middle sponge cake, covered the whole thing in green butter icing and sticking chocolate fingers for the tracks and Jaffa cakes for the wheels.
No need to be to careful with the icing (it doubles up as grass).
the top and lid was left over swiss roll,i used a cocktail stick behind the soldier to keep up the lid…..more green icing.
then decorater with dolly mixtures, and sticking more soldiers infront as though marching ahead.
