Easy Monster Truck Cake
Make an easy monster truck cake for your monster truck fans. This recipe uses boxed cake mix, frosting, and crushed Oreo cookies.
You can customize this cake by topping it with any of your favorite monster Monster Jam or Hot Wheels trucks, like Grave Digger, Megalodon, El Toro Loco, Zombie, or even Bigfoot.
This cake makes a great birthday cake for boys and girls – and even for us big kids too (I have to admit, this birthday cake was for Mama! I love Whiplash and my son wanted to help make me a Whiplash monster truck cake for my birthday!)
This cake looks fancy but is so easy to make — your kids can even help with making it. My son loved smashing some Oreos and sprinkling them onto the cake.
The great thing about monster truck cakes is that the muddier they look the better!
We used accessories from the Monster Jam Ultimate Arena Playmat & Storage we found on Amazon to decorate this cake.
You can get creative and use Hot Weels crushed cars or other monster truck accessories, if you like. This Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Snake Bite, Includes Crushed Die Cast Car.
If you don’t have a Whiplash Monster Jam truck, any of your favorite monster trucks will do.
If you need some monster trucks, start your collection off right with this Monster Jam, Land vs. Sea 4 Pack Monster Trucks which includes fan favorites: Grave Digger, Max-D, Megalodon, and Pirate’s Curse.
We topped our cake off with some cute checkered race flags, make sure to get your FREE Printable Checkered Race Flags.
Here are some examples of how we put the toothpicks into the bottom of the Monster Jam truck before placing it on the cake.
