Our good friend, Cindie Reinhold, the editor and publisher of Brides & Weddings of Northern Virginia, asked us to make a very special cake for her son Artie a few years back. Artie’s birthday present from her was tickets to a Monster Truck Jam. Cindie wanted to combine his newfound love of monster trucks and cake, so she came to us.
We all know that Artie loves our chocolate vegan cake (which tastes phenomenal) and mocha truffle, so those two flavors were a must. We decided to make the cake in the shape of a monster truck, complete with big wheels and Artie driving at 13! We started off with the chocolate vegan cake as the truck and added big mocha tires. The truck was iced in green buttercream, one of his favorite colors. We then rolled fondant with tire tread impressions to wrap around the mocha rolls. We added in a few more finishing touches, like the custom license plates with his name and Brides & Weddings of Northern Virginia, then added writing around the truck.
We always have a fun time, and are looking for new projects and cakes to add to our portfolio. So please let us know if we can help custom create a cake for your next party or event. In the mean time, come visit us at either location and mention this blog for a free cupcake through Friday, April 22. More photos can be viewed on our website, www.CakesbyHappyEatery.com.
