I found this picture and would like to know how the fire engine is made? Does anyone know how I could replicate this technique?

This looks like a Frozen Buttercream Transfer (FBCT) to me. There's a great tutorial on how to do this in the Articles section of Cake Central.

Here's a link: http://www.cakecentral.com/article12-How-To-Create-a-Frozen-Buttercream-Transfer.html

HTH!

Edited to add: Sorry for the duplicate post. My computer went nuts and I don't know why it posted twice.

It looks to me like a layered frozen butter cream transfer. Here is a link to a tutorial here at CC:

You can always PM the decorator and ask!

Welcome to CC!

Edited to add: Queenofsweets beat me to the punch!

looks like they layered fondant to make it more 3-dish. then outlined the last layer with edilbe black marker.

Great minds think alike, txcupcake!

I think it is fondant too. It says "fondant accents" on the description.

yes, it definitely looks like fondant. too smooth for fbct... and the description says.. fondant accents..

My eyes could be fooling me.... but, it kinda looks like there is still a cake circle (cut to shape) under the transfer. Maybe for a little extra height, or to make the transfer easier.

Thanks. I may try both ways and see which one comes out better. I'm new so I may not be doing something right b/c when I went to pm the decorator, I couldn't click on the button.

Nevermind! The button works now. Dunno why it didn't earlier???
