how to make a vw camper cake?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Bake 2-3 large square cakes that are typically quite dense. Then lay them ontop of each other in a tower. Start by trimming off the corners and make a sort of round rectangular shape. Keep trimming the cake whereever you think it's necessary to make a VW shape. It doesn't need to be perfect because you'll be covering it in icing and adding detail later.

Ice between the layers of the cake and then cover all three cakes with icing (with buttercream)

I'm not sure if you want to use icing or a fondant. You can use either but fondant will look better if done right. So if you want to use buttercream, smooth out the buttercream you have used to cover the cake. Then add any candy to add detail. If you're using fondant, you need to roll it out with some icing sugar or corn flour and then carefully place it over the cake. It should stick to the buttercream you put on it earlier. Smooth the fondant out and brush it with a little bit of leftover fondant. This will make it smooth and get rid of excess icing sugar or corn flour. Again, add any candy to make a detail.
