This Thomas the Train cake was for a four year-old boy’s birthday party. It is a twelve inch, round strawberry cake with cream cheese filling. The icing is a light cream cheese mousse, covered in fondant.
Thomas the Train is a toy, but the rest of the cake is completely edible. The train tracks are made of brown and gray fondant, over silver sugar crystals. The bridge is gum paste with the elevation formed from Rice Krispies Treats. I mixed green gel coloring with the icing, for the grass. The water is also icing with a swirl of blue gel coloring. Candy rocks were placed along the border. Name, grass and clouds around the cake are simple fondant cut-outs.
