My son loves Thomas the Tank Engine and I was going to make a 3D cake, however Thomas’ number is 1 and my son was turning 2, so I decided to just do his face which doesn’t include his number. This Thomas the Tank Engine cake was quite simple compared to other cakes I have … Read more
The idea for this cake was the Island of Sodor. It’s supposed to be an island with beach and blue contact for the ocean. I know it’s a rich cake for kids but it means that you can get away with only giving them a little bit. Also my son loves it and it’s his … Read more
Since my son loves Thomas, I made this Homemade Thomas The Train Birthday Cake Design for his 2nd birthday. I used Wilton’s 3D train cake pan to bake a yellow cake from a box. This is a covered pan so the train impression can be on both sides, I would suggest filling the pan all … Read more
This Thomas the Train Birthday Cake is actually 2 boxes of cake, 1 box for 2 8″ pans and 1 for a spring form pan, which is bigger for the bottom layer. I used a bread knife in the blue icing to help keep the lines uniform. Those are chocolate rocks I happened to find … Read more
This is the train I made for a co-worker’s son’s 2nd birthday. For the face I used rolled fondant. I used small balls of fondant under his nose and cheeks. The face came from another website that had a great step by step on how to do the face-Unfortunately I can’t remember the URL but … Read more
Our son became obsessed with Thomas and Island of Sodor just before his second birthday so it was easy to know that he would want a Thomas the Tank Engine cake. Instead of making the cake into a train itself we decided to create a train scene like the “Island of Sodor.” We made a … Read more
At my son’s 4th birthday, all four children were thrilled to have each gotten their own Thomas the train cake! I used a mini train mold to bake the cakes. Then I trimmed off everything except an elbow shape. I used icing and toothpicks to stick two cakes together, so they would make one train … Read more
This is a Thomas birthday cake made for my nephew Tanners second birthday (thus, the number 2 on Thomas’ side rather than a 1). I really wanted to use a Wilton novelty shaped Thomas pan for the cake, but they have been retired and are selling for ridiculous amounts, even on eBay; and after considerable … Read more
I got the idea for a Thomas the tank cake from this website. I saw a cake someone else also made from Debbie Browns character cakes. I used the sponge cake recipe from the book. The book is no longer in print but I was able to order it off of Amazon for a decent … Read more
I made this Thomas cake for my nephews third birthday party and everyone thought it was the coolest cake ever. I made the Thomas Train using Wilton’s 3-D Choo Choo cake mold and the cars using basic loaf pans. I placed the whole thing on three 13″x19″ cake boards. The train tracks I made out … Read more
This train birthday cake was built from rectangular shapes cut out of a 1/4 sheet cake. Oreos were used for the wheels and placed underneath each car train to give it the look of being off the ground. Graham cracker crumbs were used as gravel around the train.
I used an old Women’s Weekly Cookbook that had a train in it. I used it as a guide as to how many cakes to make and roughly how to assemble the carriages of this Thomas the tank cake. I used 4 butter cake mixtures (White Wings) and divided into 8 loaf tins (21cm x … Read more
