This Thomas the Tank cake was a pretty easy cake to make. I baked a vanilla cake mix – 2 9-inch pans. The icing was Swiss meringue buttercream (Martha Stewart recipe); takes some time to prepare but it’s delicious, light, and not sugary. Plus, you can make it ahead of time and re whip right before icing.
I based the colors on Thomas the Train party napkins. The white clouds are white fondant outlined with blue icing. The train tracks were made out of brown fondant. The two trains are the birthday trains – on the bottom of one train is says “Happy Birthday Kate.”
