Digger cake hack - Arts, Crafts and DIY

Hello!

Digger cake hack

This one was very simple as i had about 10 minutes to put it together before hubby came home.
The kids loved decorating the cake for their dad.

Material

1 mud cake I used a woolies one but you can even bake one your self if you have time
Digger truck or other toy machines We used a rubbles digger from paw patrol
Violet crumble One bar smashed up - used for gold
Maltesers Need a handful - they become rocks or boulders
Flakes One snack bar cut into four pieces - they are logs

Method

Cut the icing off the cake. If its not perfectly straight it doesnt matter.
Smash up your violet crumble and cut out a bit of cake off the side. Stick the crumble into the side of the cake so it looks like gold.
Put the digger on the cake. I put maltesers in the digger so it looked like it was digging up rocks/boulders.
Make a square with the flakes and put some malteasers in there.

Wow so easy with the woolies mud cake! Everyone loves woolies mud cakes so it’ll definitely be a hit.
Will have to keep this in mind for my boy.

Oh I love it! Another hack for those little ones that love their earth moving equipment……there are plastic dump trucks similar to digger in the pic. For a first bday party, fill the back with party food. Afterwards, you’ll still be left with the trucks to play with

I love the ideas where you can just re-purpose a pre-bought mudcake…..they are my favourite cakes and make it convenient and economical to make a great birthday cake with some clever decorating.

I have also seen little trucks similar to these and people have used them to serve lollies and chips etc at birthday parties. Two great hacks
