Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

I have to make a truck cake for next week, it’s called a scania truck with a barrell type back body, has anyone any suggestions. Help, I dread making this cake

Hi gerardinefyahoo-ie

There are several tutorials and ideas online which may be of help if you google ‘semi-trailer cake tutorial’ and Eddie Stobart cake. These will give you an idea how to make the cab, flat trailer and wheels. For the barrel shape, I would suggest making a sheet cake and using either a large oval or round cutter, cut out several layers and stack length wise, (or make a large swiss roll). Fill, ganache, ice and mount onto the flat trailer, secure with lots of ganache. The barrel shape, if making from cut rounds might need a skewer or dowel through the centre to stabilise the layers. I hope this makes sense
