I made this Thomas The Train Birthday Cake for my son Tyler’s 3rd birthday.

I brought a couple … Read more
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
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

The idea for this 3D Thomas the tank cake came from a “post your cake pictures” thread on a mom’s internet bulletin board but the “design” is my own. My challenge was to make a decent-looking natural (organic) Thomas cake without using any artificial colors. I bought my supplies at a local health food grocery … 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. The train cars are the loaf-pan upside-down, so they would be flat on top, and I sliced a little off the rounded part so they would … Read more
