Thomas the Train Cake

Made this Thomas the train cake for my husband's godson's 4th Birthday Party. Chocolate 8" round cake cover with and filled with chocolate icing and decorated with fondant. Everything is edible!
Party's Motif is Thomas the Train!

Created the face using gray fondant and the fondant tool set -large/small ball tool set.
Added fondant white and black for the eyes:

Also started the wheels using blue fondant. Used the icing tip #3 for the wheel's circle and the shell tool/knife to add wheel's accent.

Then created train's body
 Attached Thomas head, body and side together:

 Added the train's black whistle:
 Top view adding Thomas' 2nd Blue Whistle blower? (I think that's what it's called)


 Added a black fondant roof, window and the wheels.

Added the red fondant in front:

Added the number "4" was questioned by my 5-year old son which made me laugh because he said this can't be Thomas the train as he should have the number "1" on the side panel. I had to explain that because the birthday boy is turning 4, I had to change it to 4. Then he said OK and I got his approval that this is Thomas the Train. 

Creating the Train Tracks: Used Brown fondant, then the Wood Mat to add texture of the wood. Cut them into Rectangle and Voila!


I used chocolate cake covered with chocolate icing and added green fondant to cover. I did not cover the full cake with fondant. As you can see, you will notice the brown cake at the bottom. I was debating to either put crushed Oreos or add grass using the grass tool tip tool. I end up using and making green icing and using grass tool tip #233.


Added train tracks on top of cake

Added the number "4" using fondant and cutting with my number cutter, wouldn't stand up so I decided to add "rock looking" fondant to let it stand.

I used my letter cutter for Edrick's name:

Lego Marshmallow Pops, Lego Cookies and Lego Cake

My son had his 5th birthday party. He wanted a Lego theme party(Thanks to the movie "The Lego Movie") he got so interested on it and requested for Lego birthday. But then, all the party stores I checked, there was no Lego Party Supply. I had to improvise and  look online for ideas. 
 
First one I found was this marshmallow cake pops. I have not done any cake pops but I am hoping in the future that I will be able to learn how to do cake pops. *crossfingers* For now, let's stick with this easy to make Marshmallow Cake pops. I use the following things:
  • Yellow Candy Melts
  • Big and Little Marshmallows
  • Cake Pops Sticks
  • Black Royal Icing or Black edible pen 
 
 

 

I use black royal icing for the face expression

INSTRUCTIONS:
  • Cut the mini marshmallows in half horizontally and attached them to the regular marshmallows using melted yellow candy melts. 
  • Dip the lollipop stick in the melted candy melts and insert in to the bottom of the Bigger Marshmallow. Let it dry for a few minutes.
  • Dunk the heads in the melted yellow chocolate melts.
  • I piped on the faces using black royal icing or you can use the edible food markers once the candy coating has set completely.
Super Simple Lego cookies made by flooding Royal Icing and putting dots on them to make it look like a Lego. My first time using royal Icing. I followed Wilton's Royal Icing Recipe (Link: http://swaggycake.blogspot.ca/p/recipes.html)

 
The Cake:

 
The first thing I did was the Lego Logo which was inspired by the video I found online. I just added my son's name and the number 5. I would recommend you watch the video below.

 
 
Here's my creation:

 


 

 

 
Then I made this lego blocks using a lego molder I bought in Ebay inspired by the video I found online below: 
Here's my Lego Blocks I made
