Coolest Thomas the Tank Engine Birthday Cake

I made this Thomas the Tank Engine Birthday Cake for a 2 yr old boy’s birthday party. I made Thomas’ face from fondant. I baked a 11 x 18 white cake with strawberry filling. I made a smaller white cake that I cut to size to fit Thomas’ face, so it would stick up on the cake for a 3-D look.

Then, from the stencil I made, I outlined everything onto wax paper with gel tinted blue. Then, I put the outline, gel side down, on a crumb coated cake and filled in the lines in with a star tip, matching colors from a picture I had. I used whip n top to make the puffs of smoke and crushed graham crackers for the sand under the railroad ties. I was so excited to see his face light up when he recognized who the cake was!

Thanks to everyone on this website who contributes ideas and instructions! I couldn’t have done it without your help!
