Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Hi
I’ve been asked to make a tyre cake for a 30th birthday and just wanted to know has anyone one made one before and if so any suggestions on the best way to make the tread marks and alloy centre . Any ideas would be great. Thanks.

Hi nigel-mellon

You’ll find an answer here http://www.cakeflix.com/questions/tyre-birthday-cake. Also have a look at Paul’s tractor cake tutorial. Hope this helps.

This might sound like a stupid question but does anyone know how to get the tyre treads on a nokian car tyre cake which is on google images of car tyre cakes. It looks really good but can’t seem to find out how to do it. If anyone knows how it is done it would be great if you could tell me. It’s the one with nokian in the centre of the alloy wheel.
