I have a request from a customer to make her 6 yr old daughter a cake with a firefighter theme. Her dad is a firefighter and they're having the party at the firehouse. I'm at a loss here... I've thought about a burning building with a firetruck in front of it... but it's just not sounding great in my head. I want to do something with a wow factor...anyone have any ideas?
TIA

are you talking about a 3d firetruck? if so you could make a gp girl driving it, with the childs name on the helmet, add a dalmation sitting besider her or something... or maybe have a ladder extended and the little girl figure climbing it? it sounds like it will be a fun cake.

My dad has been a firefighter for my whole life, and what I remember most from that age is the dalmations. Maybe a cute dalmation laying on a coiled hose, with a fire helmet on the side?

Maybe incorperate fireman gear, colored toward a little girl, IE: like a pink firefighter helmet.
