It was my brother in law’s birthday and we decided to make him a birthday cake, he’s a lorry driver so this truck cake is what we decided to make.
I started by making 3x square sandwich cakes and when they were cold I sandwiched two of them together with butter cream, then the other cake I cut it in half to make the cab of the lorry. I sandwiched these two pieces on top of the cake at one end with butter cream. I then shaped the cake and then covered the whole cake in butter cream and placed in the fridge to chill.
When the cake was chilled I covered the whole cake in roll out icing and with my modelling tools I shaped the windows, doors, lights, etc. This was the left to harden overnight.
Next day I colored the cake in using food coloring paste with a little pure alcohol. This prevents the cake from getting too wet. When the main colors are dry I added the lights and silver handles, finally I added the wheels and pipe iced the name on the front of the cab, and piped the name and age for the number plate.
He loved it, I would have liked to have done better but this was my first attempt.
