My son, who at the time was turning 4, wanted a Thomas birthday. Being on a tight budget means that we make all our own cakes. I made this Thomas the Tank Engine Birthday Cake with 3 13×9 cakes and 3 8″ rounds which were sliced and diced to make what you see above. I … Read more
This Thomas the Tank Engine Cake is my first attempt at a Thomas the Tank Engine cake. I’ve not completely mastered the art of icing so things got a bit messy!! I’ve tried using a 3d Wilton mould before with my own cake recipe and found it very difficult and a long process, so this … Read more

This train birthday cake was so much fun to create, although it took a long time! I just used store-bought chocolate cake mix and baked it in mini-loaf pans.
