Thomas Time!

It's our next big order for the year!

What a way to return to baking after our one month hiatus travelling across the United States. Picked up some great techniques and ideas along the way.

This week was return to full time work week, get sick on the aeroplane and recover in a day and adjusting back to normalcy and life in general.

And a cake order of course!

A very special 2nd birthday to Justin - the most adorable and naughty munchkin in the next generation so far and like any other child, LOVES Thomas (so do I!)

Bottom layer of chocolate cake and top layer of vanilla covered in fudge and vanilla buttercream respectively. It's good icing. Really tasty and velvety.

Then came the fun part - fondant icing. All hand made and cut of course. Edward, Percy and Thomas on top! (Thomas is a toy as he speaks).

Hand cut hills and clouds and individually shaped rocks, piped faces and finished off with Happy Birthday Justin.

It should look fantastic lit up with candles and sparklers... bring on the party!
