Another Fire truck

Another Fire engine... This time I had plenty of time to do it well. 


Firstly I baked 3 lots of rectangle shaped sponges. Half sponges to have 6 long sponge strips.


Prepare  vanilla cream cheese icing and fill sponges with it and fruit jam. Check the shape of the cake and use knife to adjust if needed. Cover cake with icing and allow to chill.





Prepare fondant parts whilst waiting for icing to stiffen . I made white parts first - lights , strips and ladder. Then grey parts - windows , sides , wheels , bumpers, .. red parts were made after cake was covered with red fondant.


prepare red fondant and cover whole cake

once fondant parts are dried start to apply them to the right area 

wheels ...


windows and lights


ladder and strips and bumper , grill, sides ,..


left over icing is colored yellow and piping was done  ; 999 , fire , fire rescue , number plate,..


At last the name was put on using letter cutter , number one was made and attached and back lights put on.


all done
