This "no-bake" dessert will satisfy any boy's tooth. Construct your excavator cake model with a few candy items.

Ingredients

one 9 1/2 x 4-inch pound cake
1 1/2 cups of yellow frosting
1/2 cup of "light" brown frosting (mix chocolate and white)
chocolate frosting (decorators)
4 mini chocolate covered doughnuts (can use an "assortment" if you want)
Blue and green M&M candies (different colors may be used)
red and yellow gumdrops (mini versions are fine)
4 individual regular-sized Twix bars
2 Twinkies
four 8-inch wooden skewers (cut two of them into 4 inches & two of them into 6 inches)
4 yellow Twizzlers Rainbow Twists (same size as skewers)
12 chocolate cookies (can use Oreos, Keeblers, and generic chocolate brands)

Steps

Cut that off and put a little frosting on the slice's end cut (what you cut off). Frosting side down, place it on the pound cake's top; just a little to the right of the cut. The pound cake will be the "body" of the truck, while the end cut will be the "cab".
Close and zip the bag, cut a little slit in the corner, and use it as an icier. Create windows on each side of the cab and use the chocolate frosting as an outliner.
Place 2 to 3 gumdrops on the top of the cab for lights, 2 M&M pieces for headlights, and 4 M&M pieces for hubcaps (place it in the center of each doughnut).
On the side of the body, closest to the cab part, place 2 more Twix bars downwards for loader arms.
One of them, place it on the loader arms (this will be a shovel). Outline it with the decorator's frosting. Slice a 2 inch (5.1 cm) portion from the second Twinkie. Place it behind the truck (on the other side for the bucket).
Add yellow gumdrops to the bucket teeth. Crush or blend the chocolate cookies and spread them around the cake to make "dirt".
