I just want to thank everyone for their help with my Truck Cake. It was so difficult to make. I thought it was a lost cause and was afraid I was going to have to call my customer and tell her I wasn't able to make it. But here it is! What do you think???

Thanks for looking,
Lazy_Susan

excellent job

how'd you get that raised lettering on the tailgate? that's awesome!

tho' --- ACK -- it's the same color as my dad's old truck when I was growing up!

-----

suggestion: could you paint the styrofoam black to make less noticeable?

I made the letters by hand and then stuck them to the tailgate

After what I went through to make that thing they were lucky to get the white styrofoam! LOL By the time I was done with it I was too tired to try to do anything about the styrofoam. She saw it before hand and was fine with it. If I had to do it again I would make it black icon_smile.gif

Thanks

Awesome job. This was well executed.

Instead of painting the base you can use a strip of black fondant as well. Roll it out as thing as possible so you don't require much.

it's the smallest details that make or break your cake!

So, now you got something you thought you couldn' t do under your belt and you made it impressive.

So...Now, you can do ANYTHING you set your mind to.

Good job!
