Behold my new cake!









































Well what do you all think?

And Happy Birthday to me on the 30th!

7. The addition of wheels would gain two more points. It's just not a fire truck without wheels!

The cookie/icing ladder is awesome.

Nothing round I had that would work as wheels were the right size. (Made it look like a monster truck)

What did you use to make the warning lights? Is it some kind of jelly or just icing?

It also looks fantastic.

EDIT: Or maybe hard candy?

Sweet. They're even there in their box in the pictures, I didn't notice.

That is one awesome 10 buddy!

That's a pretty nice cake you got there. (Happy birthday!)

Why didn't you just ice on some wheels? Or use some Oreos--they look like they'd be about the right size....

Oreos were too big and ran out of black food coloring.

The front looks a bit on the choppy side, and a teensy bit lopsided but not bad otherwise.

Try mixing green and red next time. If the mix is brown, add blue. Subtractive colors sum to black.

not perfectally. Most of the time you end up with diarea color. better safe then sorry. Perhaps on monday I will see if I have time to buy some mini oreos.

Well got the wheels on. Pics later maybe. Only put on the front wheels as the back are covered on the truck model I used.

Best cake that I've ever seen. 10!!!

You have a great cake making ability! I love your cake designs and must now seek out some cake to eat.

Now no blaming me on your getting fat if you over do it!

ok but I'm not sure how I'm going to fax that to you

Please forgive me for bringing this back from the dead but I felt this was better then making a whole new thread for this.

My brother finally developed the film with the pictures of the finished cake on it.

the pictures follow

Cutting the cake

That's one hell of a cake there, man.

But you know what would make it even better?

If the fire-truck was on FIRE.

That's awesome! I particularly like it when the TINY fire truck cake is placed on the HUEG fire truck's bumper, with manly firemen posing around it.

If only it were possible for pictures to be taken of the cake when it's being held by firemen going down that firepole of theirs...

Oreo wheels?

(SDN is awesome. We have dudes who are, like, military-defense consultants like Stuart. We have dudes who obsess about nuclear weapons while being surrounded by cute furry dogs and ferrets like Shep. And we have guys who make awesome CAKES!)
