Monster Truck Madness!!!!

IT'S THE DUKES OF DIRT DERBY....THE SULTANS OF SMASH...CREATORS OF CRASH...$20 A SEAT, BUT YOU ONLY NEED THE EDGE!!!!

The monster truck birthday was AWESOME!!!  The base of the cake is a piece of plywood covered in a plastic racing flag tablecloth that I bought off of ebay with the flag cupcake pics!  For the cake I baked two cakes in a regular rectangle cake pan.  I stacked them on top of each other and went from there.  I tinted white icing green to ice the sides of the cake with.  The edging I did with a baggie by cutting the corner off and piping it on.  I iced the top of the cake with white icing then covered it in graham cracker crumbs to look like the dirt/sand track the trucks drive on.  On the side of the cake, where the blue monster truck is, I cut out a chunk off the top of the cake.  I used the chunk I cut out to make the ramp the dalmatian monster truck is on, jumping over the cars.  The ramp from the board to the cake is a graham cracker covered in icing then the graham cracker crumbs.  I put some icing on the tires of the trucks to help them stay in place.  I used the leftover green icing in the baggie to write Bode's name on the cake board and to put squiggly lines on the cupcakes.  The monster trucks and cars on the cake were purchased brand new as part of Bode's birthday present.  I bought plastic gift bags that had monster trucks on them at the Dollar Tree.  I filled them with tire shaped yo-yo's, car flip discs, candy, and a monster truck sticker that I bought off of ebay.  Each kid got a gift bag and absolutely loved it!!
