Thanks for the ideas, Tracy. My father is a paramedic and I’m hoping to make an ambulance cake for him this November. You helped a lot.

My regular face painter wasn’t around. So I had to do it all myself. The one fairy had a little too much lipstick. She’s not as easily seen in the pictures for a reason.

I’ve never used the Snow White Buttercream, but I just saw a recipe for it on Wilton’s web site. I suggest using a generally stiff consistency, if you can. The stiffer the buttercream, the sharper the details. The basket weave on the hood is made with a very stiff royal icing while the body of the carriage was a softer Italian Meringue buttercream.

Before I did this cake, I did a smaller practice cake so I would work on my technique and also so I could experiment with the buttercream to see how it works with the basketweave. If you have the time, I recommend experimenting and testing.
