My son, Joshua, is a big fan of Thomas the Tank Engine, so it was no surprise to me when he requested a Thomas the Tank Engine birthday cake. I knew I had to come up with a simple design for this Thomas cake. Bake a basic sheet cake and mix up your buttercream frosting. Then I divided it into thirds. One third I colored a light blue, the other third a light green, and the last third I saved for the decorating.

Assemble the train by stacking the layers one on top of the other sticking together with ganache. I used Ganache to sandwich the cake layers and also to cover the structure. After stacking the layers I used the Thomas Cake Template to shape the structure a little more. Before covering the structure with fondant, the ganache should be set, you might want to refrigerate the cake for a while after covering with ganache if it would not firm up in room temperature. Covering this shape is a bit tricky, start from the top and take your time to smooth out any wrinkles and stick the fondant to the cake. Smooth as much as possible from the front and sides. I smoothed the back of the train last and then cut out any extra fondant with a pair of scissors. Trim the excess fondant from the bottom leaving the bottom-most layer uncovered. So, this is how it looked when finished covering with blue fondant. Preparing the fondant decorations or rather the details on Thomas is quite easy with the Thomas Cake Template. Just apply a small amount of water to the fondant with a brush and stick it to the cake, you might have to hold it for a few seconds until the two fondant layers stick together. The base is a three-layer cake.

Glad you like it, Jill.

Looks wonderful! Click the button below to get started. I covered it with foil and then covered all around the visible perimeter with blue tape so that it blends nicely with the cake. Just apply a small amount of water to the fondant with a brush and stick it to the cake, you might have to hold it for a few seconds until the two fondant layers stick together. So, this is a piece of form which is slightly smaller than the base of the train on which the train cake is to be placed so that it is a little elevated. So what are you waiting for?
