How to Make a 3D Campervan Cake
We’re passionate about creating unique and creative cakes, especially sculpted ones. It can be quite challenging to make vehicles as they require a raised board to look more realistic. We recently made a VW campervan replica into a novelty cake, and we documented the process in a video.
To achieve the perfect cake:
- Make a board and structure for the sponge to sit on (make sure it is food-safe)
- Add layers of sponge and jam and buttercream and crumb coat it
- Carve the cake using printout guides to help with the shape
- Smooth the cake to create an even coating for the fondant
- Cover the cake in fondant and add panels for windows etc
- Add the final details such as wing mirrors
- Add a beach effect to the cake board
How to make other vehicles from cake
Not making a campervan cake? No worries, you can use these same principles from this cake, to create any vehicle including:
- Vans
- Lorries/trucks
- Cars
- Planes
Why have a novelty cake?
Novelty cakes truly are the perfect centrepiece for any age or celebration. They add an extra element of fun and excitement to any event, and unique designs are sure to impress all your guests. Whether it’s a giant burger cake, a unicorn with a rainbow-coloured mane, or a stack of books cake for a book lover’s birthday, sculpted cakes are so fun and there are so many creative designs to choose from.
