Thank you Katie, I don't do vehicle cakes anymore (Clay-man is the only person on the planet that could get one out of me lol) ....I suck at them! I can't seem to get the body style right and you see I even drew the truck pattern out to go by. It's ok for a generic truck but it's definitely not a good Chevy cake! lol He loved it though so I'm happy for that!
Well done i wanted to do a truck for my sons 21st birthday but not that good so I made a game of thrones cake for him he loved it.love watching you make your cakes.
Thanks Donna, I stopped taking orders for vehicle cakes a while back because I just can't do them well enough to suit myself. My son is MR and wants to drive soooo bad and all he ever talks about is a "white truck with mostly black tires"......so I had to make him one since this is the only kind I can give him. =}
Thank you Susan, it’s been so long I can’t even remember the hub caps but I’m thinking you might mean the wheels (I haven’t watched the video back so forgive me if I’m wrong) I bought a toy truck about the size of my cake truck and I used silicone caulk and corn starch to make a mold of it. ( you just mix the two together until you have a formable consistency) That mold is not food grade so just make sure you tell the client not to eat the wheels! lol I hope that helps! If that wasn’t what you meant please feel free to ask again!
@@beckychenault7468 You’re very welcome Becky! That was my last attempt at a vehicle cake….I HATE doing them because my brain just can’t seem to figure out the ratios of size and stuff so I gave up! I am not one to usually give up on a challenge but the time I spend trying to get a vehicle to look even remotely like it should just wasn’t working out money wise so I had to admit defeat! lol 🙈 If you’re going to give them a go I wish you all the luck!!! 💪🏼
@@MsDreamcakes yes, unfortunately I am! My sons 40th bday is in Sept. & I am having a surprise party for him. He has a red Chevy Show Truck & all his friends have talked me into it. I have made character cakes for every birthday my grandaughter has had & she just turned 10. But nothing like this!!! I appreciate the good luck wish cause I'm definitely going to need it... But your cake was amazing!!!
Thank you so much Samantha! I used several cake boards cut down and hot glued together. I poked holes in each corner to insert a wooden dowel and I hot glued those into those holes. I also made holes into the base cake board and glued the dowels into that to raise it all up off of the board. I hope hat makes some sense! lol =}
Thank you Nikole....I HATE doing vehicle cakes. So much so I've stopped taking orders for them but this one was for my sweet son and he what he wants, he gets! lol =}
Many many hours!!! lol You could contact a caker in your area and they could give you an idea of time and cost! I personally don't take orders for vehicles any more at my shop, this one happened to be for my son (he is too sweet to say no to lol). =}
How long do I need to wait before taking the fondant wheels out of the mold? I tried a few times but it was so soft and squished when I took it out. Thanks!!
I don't wait at all, if your fondant is too gummy just add some powdered sugar to make it stiff so they hold their shape when you're taking them out of the mold! =}
Great job girl! So much detail went into this! Things I wouldn't even think of. Aw, that smile at the end was PRICElESS!!!!

Wow! That's amazing! Do you happen to sell the templates for the base, windows etc.???

Fabulous cake! What did you use to make the hub caps?
Thank you Susan, it’s been so long I can’t even remember the hub caps but I’m thinking you might mean the wheels (I haven’t watched the video back so forgive me if I’m wrong) I bought a toy truck about the size of my cake truck and I used silicone caulk and corn starch to make a mold of it.

how did you make the stand for it?
I used dowels stuck into the board it's sitting on then I put another board on top of those dowels.
Where could I find the template for the truck
There isn’t one I just winged it! 🤷🏼♀️
@@MsDreamcakes Thank you for your response! Awesome cake.
