Coolest Firetruck Cake

My son loves firetrucks, so I wanted to make him a birthday cake for his 3rd Birthday. That was my first cake that I did with fondant. I made marshmallow fondant. I think it tastes better then regular fondant. I colored the fondant with red and black also, but I couldn't find silver icing, so I airbrushed parts of it silver. The wheels are made out of spongecake. You can buy them in the grocery store (little dessert cups). And I covered them with black fondant. Ladder is from bread sticks and I also covered it with black fondant. I've also put some blinking lights on it. I got them online. My son loved the cake and also blinking lights. He thought it was a toy and that he could play with it :-))).
