Thanks to all the wonderful ideas from this site, I was able to provide the army tank cake my son really wanted. We used a 9×13 cake pan and a loaf pan suggested by others who had done this. We mixed store bought chocolate icing with white icing to get the brown we wanted. We used the spray color icing from Michael’s for the green and black camouflage.
We used Oreo’s for the wheels and small kit kats for the treads. We crushed up graham crackers for the desert sand on the platter. We bought a GI Joe figure with the missile launcher for the cannon and used my son’s army guys for decoration. We could not find American Flag toothpicks which would have been a perfect decoration to finish the cake.
This was so much fun to do with the kids and my son can’t wait to share his birthday cake with his friends.
