Fire engine cakes are a favorite with little boys, and this one is no exception. A simple sheet cake is tinted to resemble pavement and green grass, and a fire station play set with rescue vehicles, which can later be played with by the birthday boy, are arranged on top.

Ingredients

  • Baked sheet cake
  • Vanilla frosting
  • Knife or small spatula (for spreading and mixing frosting)
  • Food coloring
  • Small bowls (for tinting frosting)
  • Matchbox fire station fold-up play set or fire engine cake pan
  • Matchbox or Hot Wheels Fire and Rescue Vehicles

Cooking Instructions

  1. Put some frosting in a small bowl and tint with desired color.
  2. Repeat for additional colors. (We made green grass and black pavement)
  3. Frost your baked and cooled sheet cake with the tinted frosting.
  4. Add the fire station (you may wish to put a small piece of wax paper under it).
  5. Add the vehicles.
