Train-Wreck

I made Parker's birthday cake this year. I thought it would be super easy and really cute. He's been totally obsessed with Thomas the Train lately, so I thought a train would be great.

It was a train-wreck, literally. Daniel said they looked more like bumper cars, or vw bugs. Cake decorating is definitely not my forte. From now on, I think I'll leave it to the professionals.

On a side note, Parker loved it. He just loved that it had candy all over it.

I think it is way cute. Who cares if it didn't turn out perfect as long as he liked it that is all that matters. (Besides practice makes perfect.)

I think you did great. Maybe just try a bigger piece of cardboard (maybe 2 layers thick) covered in foil then you can use tootsie rolls and licorice rope for a track! I think it's awesome!!
