The tank is a chocolate roll cake with marshmallow cream filling. We added 2 cherry Twizzlers on the top, and rolled in fondant. The truck is made of 2 loaf size cakes and cut to desired size. They are covered in chocolate icing. The wheels are fudge covered Oreos. I used white icing to make the lines on the wheels.
All other parts are made of fondant. We used a silver color made my Wilton and a small brush and dusted it all over the white. Making the chrome color. Red hots were used for the brake lights. We also used black gel to make the grill on the front. I strongly recommend dusting all your fondant parts the color you want before adding them to the cake.
We covered a PC of cardboard in foil to set the tank on. Otherwise it would have fallen.
awwsooome I love it. My husband is a truck driver and his 50th birthday is coming up so I want to make him this truck for his birthday.
Have fun. Glad you like it. It was fun to make and it tasted great too. Let me know how yours turns out. :) Blessings.
Hi. How did you elevate the tanker part of the semi truck cake? Thanks!
Where the wheels are is a square piece of cake, and we put the cookies on the outside to look like wheels. The tank is rolled in fondant and placed on top of a piece of cardboard that had been wrapped in foil. We set that on top of the 2 pieces of cake. It never tried to cave in.
How did you attach the wheels and keep them under the cake?
