Batman Monster Truck Birthday Party

My son wanted a Batman Monster Truck birthday party.  I copied the cake idea from another individual.  I bought a Wilton car pan and cut the back half of the car out to make it resemble a truck. I used gumpaste for the wings and Rice Krispie treats wrapped with fondant for the wheels.  Several toothpicks hold the wheels to the cake.  I cut out the Batman signal out of yellow and black fondant.  The "truck" is supported by 4 plastic columns.  I made the mistake of leaving them white not wrapping them with black  fondant.  The bottom part of the cake is a sheet cake trying to look like a road.

For the treat bags, I cut out the Bat signal out of the foam sheets and attached them to yellow and black paper bags.  When making the Bat signal I suggest tracing it on the side you plan to attach to the bags.  The pencil marks will show and the pencil does not erase cleanly.  I got the invitations off of Ebay that look like tickets to a Monster Jam event and the picture on the top was of the Batman Monster Truck.
