The cake was made using 10", 8" and 6" round cakes stacked off center. After adding the chocolate buttercream frosting I used my fingers to add the tire tracks and just generally make the surface not smooth. I wish more cakes could look like mud! I sprinkled some graham crackers crumbs to add to the dirt effect. The rocks are chocolate covered bridge mix and the logs are Pirouette cookies. I made the sign using a plain Hersey's bar. The trees are sugar cones covered with buttercream frosting using a size 18 star tip.

4-Wheeling Birthday Cake
This cake was made for a 10 year old boy, whose birthday was December 10th, as a "clue" about his new 4-wheeler for Christmas. I left a place at the bottom of the cake for his Mom to add a toy 4-wheeler.

Do you have your frosting recipe? I don't want the frosting to fall off of the cones : )
ReplyDeleteThank you!
I use Wilton's buttercream recipe

This cake looks great! Did you do anything special to off center the tiers so they don't fall?
ReplyDeleteI used cardboard circles under each tier with wodden dowels or straws to support them. You could also use separator plates and pillars (Wilton). Because it was all buttercream I also stored it in the refrigerator until ready to deliver.
