Fire Engine Birthday Cake


The best part about preparing this cake is that you can make it with any type of cake batter. Simply use your favorite homemade recipe or cake mix from the store, and pour the batter into a Fire Engine Cake Mold. Then, use red, yellow, white and black frosting in pastry bags to pipe on the decoration.
Here's how:


Ingredients

  • 1 Wilton's Fire Engine Mold
  • 1 Package Cake Mix or your favorite Recipe
  • Red, Yellow, White and Black Frosting in pastry bags

Directions

  • Wait until the cake has cooled completely after coming out of the oven before you begin frosting the cake. Meanwhile, put each different color of frosting into its own plastic bag(if you don't already have pastry bags for decoration). Cut a small hole at the tip of the bag so the frosting can be piped out thinly. For the red and white bags, cut a bigger hole so more frosting comes out at once to save time.
  • Cover the entire fire engine cake smoothly with white frosting.
  • Use the red frosting to cover the fire engine part of the cake.
  • Use yellow frosting to cover the fire truck's fenders, color the hubcab of the wheels, outline the doors, and color all the buttons on the cake (see picture).
  • Use black frosting to outline the ladder and color in the wheels of the truck.
  • Write Happy Birthday _____! (insert kid's name) in the color of your choice to finish off decorating the fire engine cake.
