My toddler loves diggers and I wanted to bake his birthday cake myself. A bit messy because I should’ve refrigerated the Swiss buttercream before using it.

    Looks great! I like the frosting, reminds me of equipment working to clear snow. A little dirt always comes up with it.

    It’s perfect! Make sure you record your sons face when he sees it! 🙂

    You were one typo/autocorrect away from being on the front page of reddit

    I think messy is fine, since it’s a construction site, lol. I think it looks fab & tasty, tho! Very creative

    If ever there was a cake where you could get away with not refrigerating the buttercream, this would be it! Great job

    Digger cakes are awesome. When my little girls turns three this winter I’m going to attempt to make one too. It probably won’t come out as neat as yours did, but I’ll have fun and I’m sure she’ll love it.

    I might do something like this for my son’s bay in December! Absolutely amazing i love it

    Aw! It’s really cute. I like the idea of Oreo crumbles for the dirt.

    I showed my teenagers who used to love diggers when they were small your cake, and they both loved it. They said the messy frosting makes it seem more like a construction site.

    Why would you raise a digger lover?

    Wait, it wasn’t supposed to be like that? I figured you did it on purpose to make it look more like a construction site 🤣

    The messiness helps, looks like they’re digging up concrete!

  15. Spectacular! Your son has exceptional taste. 🙂 Now I know what I might be making myself for my 38th…

    I sent this to my nephew, and he was in complete awe. He told his mom he wanted a cake like this for his birthday 😂

  17. I made something similar for my nephew last year! Yours turned out beautifully – I agree with others here, the blending of the cake into the frosting creates a more authentic construction site look!

    I. LOVE. THIS. My almost-three year old is obsessed with construction vehicles and demanded a “Things That Go” birthday. Hope you don’t mind, but I’m saving this for her. <3
