A four-wheeler or ATV cake should be available from most good cake stores or bakeries. However, should no such cake be available, you could always attempt to make a cake yourself. Www.shopbakersnook.com sells a specialist four-wheeler cake kit for a small price as well as offering a recipe and various items which will help you to make the cake. ATV cake toppers are also available from reputable online retailers such as Amazon. Recipe ideas can also be found at www.coolest-birthday-cakes.com. There are pictures and advice from people who have created such cakes and there are 2D and 3D versions. Here is how to make one of the 3D versions. Carve out the tyres using a knife and then start cutting deeper to create a space between the fender and the tyres. Carve out a space then for the foot rest, cutting about an inch of the front and back as it makes it more proportionate. Trim the cake all over until you’re happy with the shape, and then ice the cake with buttercream icing. Let that stiffen a bit before adding a coat crumb. A lid to an almond-flavouring bottle was used to make the rims and some of the cake pieces that have been cut off can be used to make handlebars. The cooler was made from two packages of fancy white cakes stacked on top of each other. For one of the 2D versions, the reader who submitted it found a silhouette of a man on a four-wheeler via the Internet. This was then printed and traced on to chocolate fondant and then cut out using a small fondant cutting wheel. Road signs and trees were also made using fondant with the writing piped on using royal icing. The tread mark border was created by cutting out strips of fondant and rolling a freshly-washed toy truck over the top of it.
