Train Cake

This is more of a transport theme cake with a 2D plane on top tier, a beetle car and tractor on the back....and a train running through the track around the cake.  The carriage boxes will be filled with M&Ms, chocolates and candies by the mummy later for the party.  

There is actually a number '2' on top of the top box but it has to stand in a candy filled carriage so I removed it for photography purpose.

All carriage boxes are made from gum paste.  Tracks are made with fondant and sprinkle with ground honeycomb rock sugar to give it a sand and pebble effect.

I love vibrant colors for little boys.  And I hope you feel the same too.  Thank you for reading!!!

Thomas Train Cake

This customer ordered a cake for his niece last month and came back for another...for his nephew this time.  He wanted a Thomas Train Cake.  I had wanted to make a big sculptured train but decided to design something different....a tunnel for Thomas.

I use lots of green for this cake as I wanted Thomas to be running thro a hill in the countryside with lots of trees.  Thomas and his best buddies...Clarabel and Annie!
