AHi everyone,

I'm a new member and a "newbie" in the cake world but love it. I'm looking for some ideas or suggestions for a monster truck birthday cake. I've seen some with a huge tire as the bottoms tier ad wondering how I would do that. Or even make a smaller scale tire.

Thanks!

AI would use rice crispies.

I have a tutorial on how to make Grave Digger on my blog , I hope it helps!

Here is one I did. The mom had bought the "matchbox" cars for me to use, so he couild keep them after. The skull and hand were fondant. The 'dirt' was coco crispies crumbs.

It was easy and the Mom and Birthday boy loved it.
