My sister nannies two twin boys, who are of course in love with basically anything that moves. Cars, bikes, trucks and most of all, firetrucks!
So of course I just had to make a firetruck for their birthday party.
It was big, bright and heaaaavy. I made 3 9''x13'' chocolate cakes. I cut one cake in half, using the two pieces for the "cab" of the truck. I cut another one of the cakes with one part just over half so that I could have the piece in the middle (notice there's a gap between the two red pieces of cake).
I then took the last cake, cut it in half and stacked it onto the truck, and then iced the entire thing.
Finally to top it all of, I put some jolly rancher candies on the cab, front and back for lights, and oreo's for wheels!
I wasn't there to see if they liked it, but I was assured by others that everyone liked it.
