Tractor: Cut other 13" x 9"flat cake lengthwise; Place one piece onto board; frost its top. Place other piece on it, top jutting out over bottom 1" to 1. Join to wagon with flat craft stick. Two cupcakes for tractor's front wheels; 8" rounds on each side for Tractor's back wheels. Frost & decorate.

Push in Red candy mints for Tractor front lights and Tractor & Wagon back lights. Green (or your color choice) mints for 8 hubcaps and steering wheel center. Birthday candles for tractor top pipes. I added a toy steering wheel from toy truck; toy man to drive tractor; 2 hitch-hiking chickens; and a fence piece for wagon back rack. And there it is!
