If you have a cake pan with straight edges, you can skip this part. Cut off the hard edges to straighten out the edges (this is if you have a typical 9×13 pan where the edges flare up and outwards). Slice the tops of the cakes to flatten them and make them evenĢ.
The following recipe is for 2 cake recipes, hence 3 layers of cake.ġ. This will feed more people (~50-60) and will probably require only 2 layers to make the fire truck. One thing I have done in the past (for other cakes) is make 3 recipes and split between the two 9×13 cake pans. One word of caution, since cake recipes vary, you may need to do a 3 stack to obtain the height of the fire truck cake. The plastic wrap will help retain the moisture of the cake and cooling in the refrigerator will make it easier to cut it into shapes.
After the cakes have cooled at room temperature, wrap them in plastic wrap well and cool for a couple of hours in the refrigerator. The softer the cake, the harder to cut, shape, and stack. Bear in mind the best kind of cake to use is a somewhat denser type cake.
#FIRE TRUCK CAKE HOW TO#
I tried this for the first time for a friend’s birthday party and it took a lot of time because I was guessing at how to cut the cakes without making mistakes!īake two 9×13 pans of your favorite cake recipe. I would recommend doing a trial run first if it is for a special occasion. These directions will utilize two 9×13 pans and can easily feed 24-30 people depending on how big the serving size. I finally had time to do this! Thanks for your patience.
