Train Cake step by step
- Bake 3 deep cakes. 2 8 inch and 1 6 inch. Mix together the eggs, caster sugar, self raising flour and baking powder. Pop in the oven and let cool..
- When cooled. Level the cakes if needed. Stack the jam and a little bit of buttercream between the layers. Cover the outside with the buttercream to get a smooth surface..
- Roll out the light blue icing and cover the top cake..
- Roll out some of the green icing. Cut a cross in the centre. Place over the cake covering the bottom two layers and any board or plate. Cut away the top so the light blue shows..
- Using black food die paint two tunnels on either side of the cake..
- Begin making the trees. I cut circles then make loads of individual leaves molding with my hands and putting a line down the centre. Use the brown to make stumps..
- Roll out the brown to make the tracks all around the cake..
- Mix some white icing with black food colouring to make a marbled grey icing. Roll out some grey to make stones to cover the lines of the tunnels. Roll the rest of the grey into balls for later..
- Make the first part of the train with 3 blocks rounded off. Make the two carriages with 1 block each rounded..
- Use the yellow to add the features of the train..
- Add the finishing touches such as flowers on the track with left over icing and paint on the name..
