ready mix truck cake
Another year, another cake for a Rutherford. This year, Oliver requested a garbage truck cake.
Let’s reflect on that for a moment.
And now let’s be thankful that Oliver changed his mind and decided a construction-themed cake might be more to his liking.
This is not a cement truck cake. I mention this because I learned that if you keep calling that carefully thought out and executed sugar-vehicle a cement truck, 2.0 will get very annoyed and repeatedly tell you that it is a ready mix truck. And then, once you’ve slaved over the design, he will point out that ready mix trucks have chutes for whatever the hell they have mixed and ready, and that sprinkles wouldn’t just be “flying out the back end.” Not even if it were required for whimsy purposes.
So you will kill him dead.

Last year, I made Oliver a fire truck cake. See it and read some tips on cake decorating by clicking here.
ungrateful kid! i hope you took the cake back as punishment! i will eat the cake regardless of where the sprinkles are coming out of!
Naw, dude, it was 2.0 that said that stuff. Oliver? Too cute to do that. Also, he’d never risk having his buttercream taken away…
2.0 doesn’t ‘get’ cakes, does he?
Just snorted tea outta my nose for the first time in ages. Thanks, Maureen!
This is so gorgeously simple!
Thanks, Kerry! Sometimes you’ve just gotta let the truck shine!
In the old’ US of A I’d call it either a cement mixer or cement truck. And just like magical pixie dust, cement mixer sprinkles can be pouring up and out of a truck. Mr. Partypooper can rain on someone else’s nonmagical parade. 🙂
2.0 needs to learn he won’t get a slice unless the critiques are complimentary. We ALL want a slice of Oliver’s cake!
Ummm…who made 2.0 the cement mixer king? You know what kind of cement mixers have sprinkles flying out of their rears? The best damned cement mixers in the world, that’s what. I don’t want to know any other kind.
Hey Movita~ This is sort of off topic, but I found a mutation of the little ballerinas that you use on your cakes. And who doesn’t like mutated ballerinas? (Hmmm….that didn’t sound right….) Anyway, these ones have little candle holders/Olympic Flame carriers growing out of their arms. I thought you might want to check them out: http://tinyurl.com/prrnn6n
I’ve seen those, but haven’t been able to buy any! Thanks for the lead! (I LOVE mutated ballerinas.)
Oliver is one lucky little four-year-old! I love his cement truck (Take that, 2.0.) but part of me wishes he had stuck to his guns about a garbage truck. I’m just thinking of all the hilarious things you could have had quite colorfully hanging out the back of it.
Super cute cake!
TWO. POINT. OH. you really have to love someone who knows (and points out) the distinct differences in a ready-mix truck and a cement truck…on a cake. for a child.
in all seriousness he’s sort of the person i become best friends with. because the phrase “just so you know” must cross his lips SO OFTEN and i tend to be like that too.
