I made this for my son’s 4th birthday. The detail on the tractor cake was done with colored chocolate (white and milk chocolate). For the hay bales I cut squares of cake, frosted them yellow and rolled them in browned coconut. I think I got that idea from this website :)
I wish I had thought more about how to connect the tractor and the wagon. I had to wing it at the last minute with the “male” piece of a wooden train set and a broken necklace.

For the cake you explained that you used chocolate to form the tractor. did you make the cake and after that did you use the empty mold and poured the chocolate in? I was just wondering.
tractor/trailer cakes are so much fun to make – crushed shreddies makes for great hay effect too!
