We all like simple and an ice cream truck cake is simple to make.
Ice Cream Truck on a Neighborhood Street
Just make a sheet cake to serve as your base; you can decorate it any way you like with any color you like, but you may want to consider decorating it to look like a neighborhood street or a road through town.
Ice Cream Truck Body
The body of the truck can be made with either a bread pan or a 9 x 13 pan; if you use the bread pan, you may want to make two so that you can cut the second cake to make bumpers.
By using a 9 x 13 pan, you can cut two smaller rectangles and stack them together, using the rounded edges to form the bumpers.
Ice your cake with any color combination you wish, using piping icing to write messages on your ice cream truck.
You can make the wheels by using mini chocolate donuts or chocolate sandwich cookies.
Ice Cream Truck Extras on the Cake
You may want to consider using an upside down ice cream cone filled with iced cake on top of your truck to add another dimension.
You can also look for decorative candies or use icing to make popsicles, ice-cream sandwiches, and other cool treats.
You could even sprinkle some rock candy around the back of your truck to represent ice.
This easy to make and fun to bake cake can be used with many party themes any time of the year.
So crank up the ice cream truck music and dish up some ice cream truck cake.
