1. Very cute trash truck cake! Can you give me some more details on the trash truck you made? I would love to know what size cakes you baked and how you stacked them. Are the wheels doughnuts or plastic?

2. Dear Aimee,
   I bought Sarah Lee frozen pound cake loafs and stacked them. Then, cut it in the required shape. I found it easier to cut it in the shape when it was frozen. Then, I used frosting to decorate it. Again, it was easier when the cakes were frozen. Wheels are doughnuts. I used licorice to make windows, wipers and bumper. I used candy for headlights. Let me know if you have any further questions.

3. Hi Shruti!

   I was searching the web for ideas on how to make a garbage truck cake for my son and came across your blog. I love the design of your truck, do you remember how many pound cakes you had to buy to make it? Thanks!

4. I can’t remember but I definitely used 2 pound cakes and may be a little bit of the 3rd one.

5. Thanks Shruti! I appreciate you getting back to me.

6. Hello Shruti, I am in Sydney, Australia and am going to try your train cake for my son’s 1st birthday. Can you please tell me what the flat part of the train engine is – is it cardboard?

   Also, I will do your rubbish truck for my other son’s 2nd birthday soon…well done on your cakes!

7. Thank you, Katherine.
   The flat part of the train engine is a cookie. I got the directions from Wilton Cupcake Fun. The idea for clown cupcake is also in this book. Let me know if you have further questions.

8. Fantastic cakes. The train one is my favourite.

9. Shruti,
   You are such a talented cake decorator! You are creating precious memories for your boys.
