This Grave Digger cake was my son’s 4th Birthday cake. He loves Grave Digger. Everybody loved the cake at the party. They all thought that it was a great idea that I really smashed the match box cars so that they looked like they were really run over.
For the hills I just baked some extra cake and cut it into the shapes of the hills. For the dirt I used Chips Ahoy cookies because their color is more of a brown instead of using Oreo’s. When the party started I put another truck on the ramp coming in. The last time I went to a Monster Jam show when the trucks came out they pasted big torches on the way in so on the cake I put two candles on each side on the ramp to look like the torches.
I started this cake at about 10:00pm and wasn’t done until 1:00am! I make the frosting myself, so it took some time. But when everybody saw it, it was all worth it.
How creative. I love it!
Great job! I’ve decorated cakes for years, you did a fabulous job. My son loved it and wants one just like it!:)
Please tell what you used for chocolate frosting and for decorating…butter cream or whipped cream
I think you did an awesome job on the cake. I like cakes that are simple to make. Way to go!
thanks for the great cake idea. My boys wanted a grave digger cake for their bday and you made it happen for a mom with a need to see how a great cake can be done with simple things at home…thanks!!!
would you mind sending me the recipe and instructions on how to make the awesome cake? My grandson is going to be 3 and he loves monster trucks.
Hi, could you send me the recipe for this fantastic cake this is exactly what my turning 7year old is after.
Hi –
I came across your Monster Truck Cake looking for ideas for my son’s birthday this Saturday. Love the cake! Can you tell me how large of a cake it is? Thanks much –
My son wants a monster truck birthday cake, but no one makes on around here so I went online to get ideas and he loves this one because it looks cool!! Could you send me the recipe!
My son loves monster trucks and begged for a monster truck theme party. No problem until I started checking places to make one and they don’t. I’m freaking out because I have never made a edible cake in my life not to mention decorated one. Could you send me the recipe if you wouldn’t mind. I think I am going to try to take a shot at it, I don’t have any other choice. Maybe by the 20th sample cake I’ll get it right. LOL. Yours is the best I have seen and exactly what I thought I could call and order. my email is: fegle@comcast.net
Thank you
I love your cake so does my soon to be 5 year old son. Could you please send me the recipe.
My son wants a monster truck b-day and we love the cake! You did a really great job! Would you mind sending me the recipe.
You did an awesome job on this cake!!! We are having a Monster Truck theme for our sons 5th birthday this weekend and I came across this site a while back trying to get some ideas….I am waiting for my cake to cool right now so that the decorating can begin…wish me luck!! Thanks for putting your picture online and giving me a GREAT sample to go by!!!
Was wondering if you could send me the recipe my little boy will be 2 and loves monster trucks.Grave digger is his favorite.
Great cake! My son’s birthday is coming up and he wants a monster truck cake! I did panic because he changed his mind at the last minute from a train cake to a monster truck, but I think I will follow your lead! Great idea on using Chips Ahoy instead of Oreos!
Would you mind sending me the recipe w/
instructions? My son is turning 4, and loves
monster trucks. He would go NUTS over this
cake.
Thanks so much.

Thanks for the the great cake idea! My son will be 3 Feb.14 & he is obsessed with monster jam trucks. He is going to his first Monster Jam show on 2/06, so this will be the perfect cake. Thanks again…I’m sooo psyched about making this cake!!
My son is turning 4 next month and wants a monster truck party (we are going to monster jam this weekend!) I have looked at every store bakery for a monster truck themed cake and cannot find one! I love your cake it is absolutely perfect. I think it will be a huge hit for the party!
This cake is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for your directions and a great idea.
I planning on having a monster truck party for my Son’s 3rd Birthday party. He always is grunting, “Monster Trucks” and “Bad to the Bone”. We did go to the Monster Truck Show on Jan 29th and I was thinking on how was I going to make/decorate the cake. So I was going to use the layout out like they had at the show and thought it would be too much. So I went online and searched. Your picture and ideas was the second one that Google found. I LOVED this idea and will be using it! Thanks for the great tips and the pictures to share!
I was wondering how you make it look like sand? ive started making cakes but I dont know how to do that lol.
This is awesome you are so creative thank God for women like you that are so artistic! Would you mind sending me the recipe? I love this!!
We made this for my brother’s b-day and he loved it so much!!!
This exactly what I am looking for for my son’s 6th birthday. I am going a bit bigger as I purchased a few of the monster jam trucks for the cake. I also thought of crushing the cars. Weird how some people think the same way that are strangers. Thanks for the tip with the cookies as I was going to use oreo’s.
My son turns 4 in December and wants me to make him a monster jam truck cake, luv yours plz send me the recipe
My son is turning 3 this weekend and really wants a Monster Truck cake…I found your picture and loved it. Wondering if you could send me the recipe? Thanks in advance
My little boy is turning 4 next week. I was wondering if you could send me the recipe on this cake?
I have been looking for the best idea for my son’s 6th birthday cake. Last year I did a huge dinosaur. This is a perfect idea so this is what I’m going with this year. Thanks so much!
I love this cake and so does my son. What dimensions is it?? It looks bigger than a 9×13. Can you possibly send me more information on how you did it?
Thank you!!
This cake is awesome. My son is going to be three in a few months and loves Grave Digger and anything Monster Jam. So I decided that will be the theme of his party. We are going to Monster Jam at the end of this month and he’s super excited. This year I want to make his cake versus buy it from a bakery. Could you send me the recipe, including your homemade icing? I’m not as creative as some so I’ll need a trial run before the party just to be sure I don’t mess it up. Thanks so much!
I would love to send you a pic of the one I made from your model cake. Mine came out a bit different but awesome! I even took 3 of his cheaper imitation hot wheels and took hammer to them, (in the process hitting my finger and cracking my acrylic nail in half, LOL) but so worth the added effect!
Thanks for the ideas!
I too would love to have more specifics on the cake size, number of mixes you used and esp. your icing recipe . .I’m terrible with icing
This cake is amazing! Could you please send me recipe for cake and icing with dimensions? My son would love to have this at his party in a couple weeks!!!
Thanks

This cake is super easy to make. The size I used is a 1/2 sheet cake. The ramps I cut out of cake. Frost the whole cake then put your ramps on and frost them. For the dirt I used crumbled chocolate chip cookies. Decorate with your choice of frosting. I used buttercream. And for the cars I used matchbox cars that I smashed with a hammer.
And that’s it! :) supper easy. Thanks for all comments :)
Could you please send me directions for this cake? My son would love this cake for his party. Thanks!
My son is turning 5 today and I am making one like this cake for him. He was excited to see this pic because “his” name is on this cake. Jeremy! :) Thanks for sharing your ideas
