This train cake was made by a friend of mine for her son’s 3rd birthday. I can’t even begin to tell you how cute it was. Every train was iced with different colors and each were embellished with varied candies. You can see that the smoke stack was 2 stacked marsh mellows. AND I can’t even begin to tell you how hard she worked on it. So many hours. Because I knew that she had put so many hours into making them, I couldn’t bear the though of actually eating them!

The cake was made with the Williams Sonoma Cake pan. I’m not sure if this one does but most of the cake pans come with a cake recipe that works best for laying down in the grooves to form the shapes. I don’t know that they sell the pans in the stores any longer but I would bet you can find them on eBay. After making the cake once, the likely hood of you making it again are slim.

The biggest thing to remember here is that the icing DOES NOT have to be perfect. The kids will love the train shapes and colors no matter what!
