Not this past December, but in December of 2008, my bff Chrystal and I made this cake for (her son - my Godson), Vincent's 2nd Birthday. He loves firetrucks, and we did a firetruck birthday theme.
It took us about 4 hours to get it to look like this...
One of the problems we had, was that we couldn't make "red" icing for the firetruck. After an hour of messing around with icing and food coloring, we decided that there was no way red was gonna work, because it kept looking "pink" - there was no way we were going with pink - he's a boy, and it's a dang firetruck! So we opted to go with yellow, and it worked out just fine, as u can see. :)
Lesson learned: Red food color + white icing = pink, not RED! Go figure!! :)
We were pretty proud when we were done!! this was the first time either of us tried anything like this... and we only had to bake this one cake (cuz we didn't screw up too bad) -- unless u count the lopsided tires or the crooked ladder (shhh, vincent didn't seem to notice!) ;)
Actually, he didn't mind at all! :D
Yummy!! all that hard work right down to the belly!!! LOL

Love the cake, Shawna!
thanks girl! :)
I'm impressed! I'd be pleased to bake a tasty cake, much less one that looks like a genuine firetruck. Good job!
