Robocar Poli Roy Chiffon Cake

Does this cake make you smile? =) Roboar Poli's Firetruck Roy made in chiffon cake.

I am not a fan of making vehicles as they are really hard to make with chiffon and require more cutting and assembly than normal. Also the many details are really fine and not easy to do neatly. It was also a challenge making the shapes that make up the Fire truck. But it was for a close friend, and not likely to repeat it very soon =p. Thank God it was well-received and made the birthday boy really happy!

As per my normal style, I tried to use natural coloring as much as I could, using charcoal for black and PME red for the red colour. I used a ball pan to create the top compartment, and joined it to chiffon cake baked in 2 square chiffon pans.

Recipes used are similar to my Mickey mouse chiffon cake.

Hope this brings a smile to your face! Hope everyone is coping well with school holidays too. For me, it has been really busy.

With love,
Susanne
