Fire Truck Themed Birthday Party

My littlest boy turned three!  He decided some time ago that he wanted a fire truck cake.  I had a couple of designs in some cake books but I googled and found one I liked here.  I then had to figure out dimensions and cake pans and recipes etc.  It was a big task but it turned out really well and I don't think it was as hard to make as it probably looks!

My biggest drama was that I had no cake board when it came time to put the cake together - it's something I keep forgetting to organise *before* I start on the cake!  I had to trim the cabin cake a little to fit the board that I could find and that meant the run out icing windows etc were a little too big for the finished cake size.....but it's all good :)

Yes I did cake pops too......

And I even went further and added some sugar cookies.....

The party boy had a fantastic day and the look on his face made all my efforts completely worth it!
