Are you ready for this? This is one of an epic cake I've ever made so far. The last 2 weeks have been awesome for me with the cake order! So, to give you a clue, the next post will be another epic post! Can't wait to share more..
Initially, my lovely customer wanted to order Elmo Cake for her grandnephew then she changed her mind as the little one's current favourite character is the Thomas Tank Engine. So, train cake, that is! It was an exciting challenge after all.
Thanks to You Tube, lovely Thomas Tank Engine Cake Tutorial and Favourite Character Cakes book by Debbie Brown to give more insight about the technique and all the things I need to know to make this cake happened. I wouldn't lie making thomas cake is harder than they look, they are so much details and best to prep them at least week in advance. I am very fortunate to have an extra hand from my husband who assist me, I can always count on him. The base flavour of the cake is mud cake and ganache with dark chocolate. You can find the recipe here.
Here is the cake before I ganache. I showed below undecorated train cake picture to my best friend and she can not see any resemblance to thomas train cake. Hmm.. wait till I started decorating them...
Here it is once I ganache the cake...
Ta-da... I present you Thomas Tank Engine Cake..
This cake is amazing, you are talented. No doubt this brought a big smile to that little girl's face. Also, in looking at the close-up picture the train is flawless. Well done.
