Grave Digger is one of the most notorious monster trucks of all time, so making a cake from this image can make any monster truck party even better. Even if you have no skill in making cakes, you can still make a Grave Digger inspired birthday cake. If you plan on making one of the more difficult cakes, give it a practice run before the big day.
Picture
-
A simple way to have a Grave Digger cake is to have a standard cake with the image of the monster truck on it. This can be done with icing or colored frosting. Some bakeries will screen the image in so that you do not have to do any work and the likeness is almost exact. You can make the image on a small part of the cake, or have it take up the majority of the cake.
Truck Cake
-
Make a cake that looks like the truck. This is an involved process and is not for the new cake maker, but the end product is fantastic. You need to have different pans so that you can bake the cake in different sizes. You will need circles for the wheels (or you can cut circles from a finished square cake), and then pans for the body of the car, large for the bottom and smaller for the top. The rounded and smooth edges are done with icing and frosting. Use icing for the details like the car number and the windshield. The size of the pans you need varies depending on how big you want the cake to be.
In Action
-
Make the cake in action. For example, make it look like the truck is driving through a muddy course. You can do this with a simple chocolate cake and frosting, or you can also put chocolate pudding on the top to make it look really muddy. For the truck, you can either make your own truck, like in the previous example, or you can just get a cake topper that looks like Grave Digger. This can be found at most craft stores in the baking section since it is such a popular icon.
