Firetruck Cake

This firetruck cake was created for a groom at the couples rehearsal dinner. It came complete with working head and tail lights, a lightbar and firetruck siren. The tires and embelishments were made with gumpaste, fondant, twizzlers and royal icing.

The cake is red velvet cake with cream cheese filling and buttercream icing. The bride and groom preferred buttercream to fondant, so I made the entire exterior with buttercream. This method is traditionally less smooth looking, but very yummy!
