It’s hard to describe the fascination. The iconic styling of the “happy face” on the front of the campervan; high view from behind the big steering wheel and that lovely “putt putt” sound of the engine are all part of the charm.
We have found the fascination to be so deep that whilst hiring one of our campervans out for a wedding, we were honoured to have the camper captured in the form of icing and sponge cake to take central stage as the wedding cake.

This prompted me to seek out pictures of other people’s campervan cakes and share them with you on this blog. The pictures below came from contributors on forums, twitter and facebook. If you have pictures that you would also like to contribute please send them through and I will update this blog with them!
I was also delighted when Generation Campers @generationvw shared the special recipe used for their own campervan cake. It is perfect for camping too, as lasts for days. I am told that this is now a tradition and loved by all their generations. The notes to the right show how much Mabel, their campervan, is loved.

This is my husband’s (Mr Buttercup Bus) 40th birthday cake. I cheated and bought a cake from Costco and decorated it with campervan biscuits from The Campervan Cookie Company
This VW Camper birthday cake was made for “Olive Bay” from The Late Bay forum. The cake was made by a fantastically clever lady called Donna in Leeds who runs her business from home donnamakescakes.co.uk It was a chocolate mud cake and went down an absolute treat. Her next challenge is to make a Glastonbury Pyramid Stage cake!
Iggle Piggle from The Late Bay forum shared this amazing creation – I think it may have a flat tyre though! 🙂
