I then made four chocolate cake mixes and layered them. I made homemade butter cream frosting for the inside and the outside of the cake. I was going to do green fondant and so I needed the butter cream frosting to make it stick. I then used brown sugar to make the dirt part of the train track and black licorice to make the track.
I then decorated the the train pieces, added some blue fondant for the water, and made a yellow fondant duck to put in the water.
I wanted the green to look more like raised grass so I colored some butter cream frosting, green, and started adding it with a tip. It started to melt so you can see in the front, the melting part. Oh well.
Anyway, here is the finished product, I thought it turned out great and everyone seemed to enjoy it a lot!
This cake took me about 3 hours to decorate but so worth it. And it saves me a ton of money from buying cakes!
Have a great day!

cute cake and looks yummy.
what a cute cake! I wish I could be more creative (and patient) to do something like this!
Janelle: It’s all about youtube! The fondant cakes, tome, are easier then regular frosting!
Again!! Great job on the cake. So, So cute!!
Ooooo – well done. I also love making cakes for my kids – I think I start planning them about 4 months before their birthdays and the whole party theme revolves around what cake they/I want to make. Even as I type I’m buzy making a Very Hungry caterpillar one for DD3 first birthday picnic tomorrow, and made Russian nesting dolls for DD2 last weekend (http://modernmumbflat.blogspot.com/2011/09/who-hosted-party-for-50-kids-today-then.html).
Lindsey Me too! I plan the party around the cake too! It’s fun!
How cute. I want to get more into cake decorating.
