Homemade Gravedigger Birthday Cake

My son wanted a Gravedigger cake so I looked up different ones and decided to make my own because I couldn’t find a bakery here in town that would do one like he wanted.

I did mine in steps. I drew out the cake the way I wanted it to look, baked two sheet cakes, and started my creation.

First, I cut one of the sheet cakes and stacked half of one on top of the full sheet cake and then a smaller portion on top of that, to make the raised surface where the cars would be.

Second, I made a homemade buttercream icing and iced the cake.

Next, I added the cookie wheels, the platforms, and decorated with the green icing.

Lastly, I put the cars on top and finally topped the cake with the Gravedigger monster truck.

I think the cake turned out pretty well and everyone at the party loved it.
