I made this for my grandson’s 4th birthday. He loves fire trucks and Lego so I made everything from fondant and sugar to cover the homemade vanilla buttercream-filled strawberry cake.

Thanks! It was fun (but time-consuming) to make!

Really nice job on all the details. Each piece looks like a lego and it feels like I could snap some bricks into the top. The color is also fantastic and I bet a lego truck was difficult to make.
