Link to my blog spot. It is newly created and will include methods to create a variety of desserts and macaroons:

This cake is the project of Chef William. In honor of the troops being posted to Afghanistan. Weighing at over 400 pounds, this tank cake was made to serve over 1,000 people. The Celebration took place in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay Casino.
This Tank structure was made with almost 30 full sheets of vanilla cake. It is filled with both Bavarian and butter cream. The main gun was made from pure tampered chocolate. The Upper portion of the tank sits on a rotating motor enabling it to turn 360 degrees.
Over 2 weeks of continuous work was put into creating the final structure.

I will include my own work and tutorials in the near future. If you have any requests or inquiries, please feel free to e-mail me at :

  • It depends on where you order the cake from.

    We did that cake for over $800.

    That covers the cost of materials, labor and fondant.

    Hope you find a bakery that will do for much less than this.

    Good luck & thanks.

  • What happened to the gun? O_O

  • @PerkinsForYouSarge

    The gun was made from tampered 60% chocolate. The gun was melted down again.

  • Simply amazing! And I agree, the background music is perfect for this video!

  • Thank you very much. Hope you really like it.

  • Did it go stale or was it eaten before that happened

  • The cake was cut up and served to a party in 45 minutes
