EASY DIGGER CAKE



Easy Digger Cake image

Really easy digger cake for kids - this is the easiest birthday cake to decorate ever - my boys loved it!

Provided by Grace Hall

Categories     Dessert     Party Food

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 chocolate cake, homemade or shop bought
chocolate icing of your choice (if using a homemade cake)
2 or 3 matchbox sized toy construction vehicles
chocolate chips and chocolate chunks to decorate

Steps:

  • First wash your vehicles in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. I bought new vehicles especially for use on the cake - they made a much appreciated extra little present for the birthday boy!
  • Place your cake on a plate or cake board. If using a homemade cake, stack up any layers with a little icing in between.
  • With the tip of a sharp knife, cut a hole in the top of the cake and remove the resulting chunk of cake. Eat it up before anyone else snaffles it - it's the cooks reward!
  • Spread your icing over the top of the cake, leaving the hole bare. Arrange the construction vehicles so that they look like they are in action - being sure to place a digger by the hole. Add the chocolate chips and chocolate chunks to complete the picture. I had the bulldozer shovelling dark chocolate chips, and piled a few chunks of dark chocolate into the tipper truck.
