Hey everyone!

Does anyone have an idea about how to make a 3-D dump truck. My employer asked me for one for his 1yr. old. I don't want to say "no", but have no idea how to accomplish the task. Please help.

Wilton's book Celebrate With Fondant has a pattern. Several of us have made it. Check out the gallery. You'll find lots of ideas =)

Have ou searched the gallery for photos? If so, send a Private Message to someone who has done this cake to ask for tips/instructions. I've asked to instructions a few times and have always gotten a positive response with lots of help. I know I always share what I can too. Good luck! I've wanted to try one of those too, just haven't had a reason to yet.

I did one several years ago for my nephew. I think I used a bread loaf pan, and just carved it out a bit. Then I melted some chocolate and spread it around the truck to make it look like it was stuck in the mud. My nephew loved it.
