This is the first time that the wheels were build NOT TO MOVE at all!!! They have a disc in the center to prevent the weight of the wheel from stretching and cracking itself. I am thrilled with how sturdy they are, but it did take a while to do these wheels in stages. They are made of cereal treats sliced in half to allow a wooden disc to be placed inside. Then glued together with white chocolate. Then the face of the wheel is covered in white chocolate to create a smooth surface. After all that, it is covered in fondant.
The other time consuming part of this cake... the artwork! I think I spent 3 hours or so just painting the artwork. All that to say... each car/truck is NOT created equal!
Thank you to my wonderful husband/carpenter for building such a fantastic frame for me.

Totally awesome! Amazing work!!
How did your husband make the frame? I am going to be making a 3D truck cake soon and wanted to find the easiest way to make the cake lifted up so I can put the tires underneath it.
Really impressed! Everything is very, very clear and open. You have shared a lot of valuable information.
