Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Any tips or advice on how to make a Tank cake?

Hi

I have been asked to make a cake in the shape of a tank, has anybody got any advise how to construct it.  Another tricky element is that they want a plain vanilla sponge with jam and buttercream. It would have been easier to carve with chocolate and ganache.

Any advise much appreciated

Hi Diane

Found this www.Instructables.com/Tank Cake. I had a quick look at it, seems straight forward, hope it helps. Cheers x

Thank you MIWL, that’s given me some ideas. Xx

There are lots of other tutorials besides this one, just google in’ how to make a tank cake’. I’ve seen one where the turrett actually moves, what ever will they think up next! Hope all goes well.x
