📝 Preparation Steps
1
Bake cakes and allow them to cool completely.

While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting and chop up some of the candies in half.
3
Place each cake on a round cardboard cake board that's the same size as the cake.
4
Cut each cake in half horizontally and spread icing on top.
5
Place the other half of each cake on top and press gently to secure together.
6
Ice both cakes fully in icing and use the back of a spoon to create a rustic pattern.
7
Place the 8 inch cake on a large serving board.
8
Stick 4 dowels or bubble tea straws in the center of the cake and cut straws to the correct height.
9
Place the other 4 inch cake on top of the dowels and press gently to stick the 2 tiers together.
10
Place the washed toy trucks on the cake and on the large cake board.

Create an illusion of a construction site by sticking chopped up candy bars on cake to represent large stones and sprinkle Oreo crumbs for dirt. Create a puddle of ganache around some of the trucks to represent wet cement.
