I didn’t want to end up with a pink fire truck so bought the Wilton Color Right Red gel. The instructions and supplies to make all the cute details are all available in the adorable cake from Cakest. So I mixed in pudding mix to help it hold its shape. A fire truck cake is sure to wow guests at just about any child’s birthday party Buying a fancy, custom cake can be too expensive for most people, but this easy DIY Fire engine cake is inexpensive and fun. Perhaps when I learn to make real whipped cream, I can use that instead of Cool Whip to make it “healthier.” Cool Whip on its own is a bit hard to frost it doesn’t hold structure well. I chose to use Cool Whip frosting because it’s not as sweet as store bought icing. Feel free to use store bought icing to cut down on the time. This fire truck birthday cake can be as simple or as detailed as you want to make it. When we asked him if he wanted to pick one of these or have mom make a fire truck birthday cake, he picked Mom! I had a brief whoo-hoo moment that my son picked me! Honestly though, my son most likely just had too many choices and couldn’t decide so he just picked what was safe and comfortable to him – Mom. He looked over the pictures over the next few days. There were so many to choose from! My husband took pictures of all the ones that he was interested in. He said yes and we went to look at designs at the store. This year, we asked him if he wanted to buy a cake at Safeway. My son loves anything with wheels! Last year he was crazy about trains, so I made him a train birthday cake. ![]()
