I made this Thomas The Train Birthday Cake for my nephew’s third birthday this fall. The cake overall looked a little ‘chubbier’ than I would have liked but I figured what the heck?
It’s a kid’s cake of a kid’s character, a little extra chubby friendliness never hurt anyone! He was so thrilled about it! All day he went around repeating, ‘Thomas the Train cake, Thomas the Train cake!’ It made my day!
How did you make his face?I tried but it didn’t come out right.
I made the face by making a flat circle of fondant, I then built up his features with tiny pieces of fondant and to give the whole thing a smooth appearance I covered it with a very thin sheet of fondant. I smoothed the creases with a toothpick for some additional definition for his features and finally added the eyes by just pressing them into the hollows of the eye sockets. I’m not going to lie this was probably the hardest part of the cake! Good luck!
