Learn how to make a 3D Concrete Truck Cake with a spinning barrel!

In this tutorial, Serdar will show you how to make a 3D Concrete Truck Cake with a very special effect. A turning barrel! That’s right…the barrel of the concrete truck actually turns just like a real concrete truck! A spinning barrel gives this cake a wow factor and certainly makes the event the cake is for, much more memorable. This cake needs very precise and careful planning. Let’s get started!

What you’ll learn…

  • Creating a 3D cake with a moving part using a battery-powered motor.
  • Making a Pastillage 3 piece barrel shape object.
  • Building a truck trailer with no non-food support.
  • Installing a motor to Pastillage with strong hold.

Please note: To make the barrel turn, Serdar uses a Tamiya Dynamic Model Educational 4-Speed Worm Gearbox H.E. Set 72008. If the link to the product does not work, please search Google for the item.
