Construction Theme Birthday Party Cake

I was really glad when my son picked out a construction theme birthday party cake from one of the Australian Women's Weekly cake decorating books as it looked really easy to do. It was pretty simple, just make two cakes and stick them together (one on top of the other) with icing. Cut into the top cake to create a hill. Cover with icing and crushed Violet Crumble, decorate with construction toys. Put some choc coated sultanas around to look like rocks. I found that this worked well for a beginner cake decorator like me, as it didn't matter if some cake crumbs got into the icing or if the icing ran a bit... construction sites are messy places anyway!
