Second birthday Cake – Choo Choo Train!

My son spent 85% of his 2-year old life watching Curious George. I was already planning a big yellow/monkey theme party, when he switched gears on me. All of the sudden it was all about trains! Thomas became a huge celebrity, and there was no way around it. The party was to be Thomas themed.

So, I got myself a size 7 (girls) pink Thomas shirt, and got him a matching blue one. Attires: check. Plates, cups, decals, all Thomas themed: check. Now, the cake.

I will confess that the river down the center of the cake hides a HUGE earthquake-like crack on the top face of this chocolate layered cake. Nobody noticed, though, and people were very impressed!

Nothing hard about this cake. Just a whole lot of different color frosting and purchased props. I’m most proud of the gray sugar grains which doubled as gravel. Quite nice.
