Use leftover liquorice to make strips to mark the centre of the road. Again using the icing, attach the four wheels. Attach the strips, using a little of the red icing, to make a double border around the base of the cake. Unroll about half the liquorice from each of the four wheels. Carefully lift the fire engine onto the board. Roll out all but 50g of the grey icing to an irregular strip and place on a 30cm cake board. Roll out the red fondant and use to cover the fire engine.
FIRE TRUCK CAKE WINDOWS
Using a sharp knife, slice the front of the cab at an angle where the windows will be placed. The remaining piece of cake is not required. Spread a little butter icing on the main part of the fire engine (behind the cab) and stick on one of the 10x14cm pieces.
Take the 10x14cm piece and slice in half horizontally. Using a little butter icing, attach the 10圆cm piece to one end of the 10x20cm piece. Take one half and cut into two pieces measuring 10x14cm and 10圆cm. Cut the cake in half to make two rectangles each 10x20cm. Gradually beat in the icing sugar until smooth and creamy. To make the butter icing, put the butter into a bowl and beat well. Remove and allow to become completely cold before cutting and icing.
Spread into the prepared tin and bake in the oven for 35–40 mins. Add the eggs, almond extract, flour, ground almonds and milk and beat very well until light and pale in colour. Put the butter and sugar into a bowl and beat until light and fluffy. Grease and base line a 20cm square cake tin with baking parchment.
