I decided in honor of Titus moving to his own room that was going to have a vintage truck theme that he would have a truck cake for his birthday. After searching the internet I found very little inspiration/instructions on how to make one. So, after talking to Kristina I decided to make it up as I went. She suggested I use a loaf pan for the body of the truck This was a great idea. Here is what the cake looked like after I carved and stuck the pieces of cake together.
Here it is with some icing before the fondant.
Here is the finished product. I used items from my candy jar/pantry to make the different parts of the truck.
Grace thought the truck looked like Mater and thought it needed eyes, so we added two chocolate brown M & M's. Looking back at the pictures she was right, this added so much personality and fun to the cake.
My parents hosted Titus' party for us so my grandparents could attend. My mom was in charge of the ice cream for the party and planned a fun activity. We made our own homemade ice cream in a bag. The kids loved it!
Titus was a great opener this year.
Pulling out the tissue and saying "Roar!"
Eating the icecream, it was super yummy!
Opening a truck from Papa & Gramy for his new room.
Titus was an expert at blowing out his candles. He would have them blown out before you could even get them both lit!
I really loved making Titus' cake and celebrating my little man who loves trucks, tractors, and all things with wheels!
