I was very excited when I learned of the Threadcakes competition. My name is Shelby Hinds and I am a 17-year-old cake decorator from Miami, Florida. After looking through every threadless design I choose “Super Mega Fun”. I made the vanilla cake from scratch in a sheet cake pan, and then carved it into the truck shape when it was cool. This is one of the first carved cakes I have ever done! I then covered the cake in buttercream icing. Then I kneaded fondant, rolled it out, and placed it on top of the iced cake. I placed the decorations I had made out of gum-paste. The wheels are round balls of fondant that I painted with edible food gel. I made the reflections on the windows using silver luster dust. I shared it with a friend in the park!
