Decorating your Ambulance Cake
Keep the white clean
Buttercream looking a little yellow from the butter? A few drops of purple food colouring will tone it out. For straight, clean sides, crumb coat first and pop the cake in the fridge to firm up, then ice again and use a scraper to gently redistribute and straighten the icing. Air bubbles? Take two tablespoons of your icing, microwave it for 15 seconds until it's slightly melted, then mix it back in for a glossy buttercream.
Flashing lights
Red and blue jubes on the roof make lights.
Timing
Bake the day before, decorate on party morning. Keep the edible icing sheet pieces out of the fridge and pop them on last, just before the party.
This one's up to you. Colour your buttercream however you like.

Each new cake is just a decorating set and your ingredients, about $42 to $52 per cake once you own the tins.
