Tractor Ted cake tutorial : tractor birthday cake

How to make a Tractor Ted cake. You can also use the same method to create a normal tractor cake without the face :). This was a cake I made for my godsons birthday using one of his favourite characters, I decided I would film this and put it on KZbin for anyone else who would like to make one :) See recipes and equipment used below.

Basic Victoria sponge cake recipe -
Ingredients:
225g butter
225g caster sugar
4 eggs
225g self-raising flour
1 tsp vanilla essence
Method:
Cream together the butter and sugar, then beat in the eggs and vanilla essence. Once smooth and creamy, fold in the flour.
Pour in to a greased cake tin and bake in the oven at 180degrees for approximately 40 minutes, until golden brown and a knife comes out clean.
Buttercream recipe -
600g icing sugar, sifted
300g unsalted or salted butter, softened
optional flavouring
Beat the ingredients together.
Chocolate ganache recipe -
- To make chocolate ganache you can simply melt chocolate with double cream in a glass bowl above a pan of boiling water ( I use the hob to heat the water, but be sure to turn this right down once the chocolate begins to melt so it doesn't burn). I use the ratio of 3 to 1 chocolate to double cream
- To make rice krispie treats you just need to melt a little butter and your marshmellows in a pan over the hob, take off the heat, then mix in your rice krispies and let them cool down.
