Worked on another birthday cake this past weekend. This time I got to make a cake for a boy turning 3. I kept this cake a bit more simple by sticking to buttercream and fondant accents. Also, instead of making Henry the Train out of fondant or whatever, I picked up a toy that he could just keep afterwards.
This cake came together with minimal amounts of hiccups. If you remember, I couldn't wait to go back to this theme since it was last done for a Cake4Kids recipient. I made sure that the train tracks made its way onto the board this time. Also, it was great to have this cake turn out the way I imagined given I also made this boy's first birthday cake. That cake almost broke me when nothing would turn out as planned.
Cake is 6in (2 layers) and 8in (3 layers) tiers of chocolate cake and chocolate frosting. I used Pure Madagascar Vanilla Extract in the frosting for the first time and I am hooked on it now. I wish I had a picture of the inside for you. I have started to use an Ice Cream Scooper to measure out how much frosting I put in between each layer and it looks a lot nicer now.
