Dump Truck Birthday Cake

Hey everyone! In this video I’m going to show you all how I made this epic little dump truck cake! This really is one of those cakes that was just so much fun to make. It works up really easy, was super easy to cover using the paneling method and every little detail I added just made it come that much more to life! I had such a blast with it and I know you all will too! Hope you enjoy the video!🥰
Have I inspired you to give it a try? Tag me on my Insta @therobynsnest83 so I can see your beautiful creations, it would really make my day!💕

I can’t believe I missed both your last two videos! This truck is seriously so symmetrical. Perfectly done Robyn, well done! - Theresa

[@TheRobynsNest]

Thank you Theresa! I actually hated this truck as I was first putting the fondant on, I thought it was gonna look funny but every piece I added I fell more and more in love with it. It was definitely one of my favourites as of late and was extremely fun to put together! I just kinda winged it and it worked out! I get lucky like that sometimes 😆

[@FlourEggsYeast]

@@TheRobynsNest LOL love that! It’s probably because you’re so detail oriented

[@stinelygiraldo6602]

Me gusta, lo intentare hacer para mi hijo ❤❤🎉

[@dellmeredith3182]

how do you get the tire fondant to be such a dark black or does the icing dye display a lot darker in fondant. I use Wilton icing dye for icing on cakes and it never gets very dark no matter how much dye you put in it. And when you have the layers of fondant do you need to wet it a bit to get it to stick to the layer beneath?

[@sridharinigajendran459]

Beautiful! What have you used for the eyes?

[@robbinallen5189]

I am a novice baker. This is great. A bit too advanced for me. Hopefully, I would be able to create something like this down the road.

[@TheRobynsNest]

Thank you so much! With a little practice, some determination and a little help from my video I know you can do it!🥰

[@misbahkhan4075]

Do I have to use fondant

[@TheRobynsNest]

@@jayshreepillay6563 you don’t have to no. Modelling chocolate is another great and tasty option but is a little more expensive and slightly more difficult to work with as it is more temperature sensitive.

[@karingorin3368]

Hi. Can you tell me the size of your baking pan? Inches or cm. Thanks

[@TheRobynsNest]

I used a 9”x13” cake pan to bake up two double batch layers so they would be nice and thick.

Oh Robin! This is SOoooo Cute! How many people would this feed? I want to make one and eat it! 😋🤣💕💕

[@TheRobynsNest]

Thank you!! It was created from a 1/4 sheet cake (9”x13”x 2” cake pan) which typically serves about 24. So after trimming and sculpting 15-20 servings sounds about right to me.

Hi what did you make cake Wheels with bit hard to hear thank you

[@TheRobynsNest]

I used a small measuring cup greased with shortening to shape them, then I covered them with fondant and used a Russian piping tip to make the pattern for the center of the wheel.

[@susanshingler4102]

Hey Robyn. What's the tip # for the imprint on the tire?

[@susanshingler4102]

Or the name of it.

[@susanshingler4102]

The Piping Tip link you've posted doesn't seem to take you to the tip you're using for the tire.

[@TheRobynsNest]

I’m sorry, the tip I used doesn’t have a number on it🤔 peculiar. And it came in a random set of mixed tips. I just found something similar and linked that in the description because a lot of them looked suitable for this application as well.

I used one, 9”x 13”x 2” cake layer. First I cut it straight down the middle to make two, 4.5” x 13” cake layers, then I a tacked those with some buttercream filling. Next I just eyeballed it and cut the portion off the back where the truck bed would be and used that chunk that I had just cut off to form the front of the truck.
