My son wanted a monster truck theme for his 5th birthday this year. Sadly, I had extreme trouble finding anything with Monster Trucks on it….believe it or not. I really thought this would be an easy theme but not so much! I ended up making my own invitations, party hats, and birthday shirt for the birthday boy and of course the Homemade Monster Truck Birthday Cake.
I used the Wilton 3D Cruiser Car mold, cut off the back, used donuts for the wheels and pre mixed fondant for the windows, headlights and hub caps. Crushed Graham crackers to give the cake the look of dirt, first I baked a large sheet cake that ended up baking lop-sided. I actually used this goof up to my advantage, and made a hill for the truck to drive up on. The portion of the mold that I cut off I used to build the hill up a bit more. I iced the donuts with chocolate icing to make them look muddy.
