My 3 year old Grandson came to me and asked if I could make him a birthday cake with Monster truck Mater “quishin” (squishing) Finn McMissle. He is way too cute to say no to. I came up with this design of a Monster Truck Mater and Finn McMissle Birthday Cake and my kitchen will never be the same.
Finn McMissle is made out of rice crispie treats that I carved and covered with fondant. Mater is white cake with butter cream icing covered with fondant. I used rice crispie treats covered with black fondant to make the tires as well. I always add a white under layer of fondant when I make these type of cakes. I helps give dimension when you cut the eye area out.
His tow gear is formed out of colored fondant. My husband decided that I should teach myself to use an airbrush, so I did. My biggest tip there is to make sure you spread out lots of paper before you spray the food coloring. I spent a lot of time cleaning up the over spray.
This is such a cool cake!!! Boys everywhere want this one!
