Thomas The Tank Engine Cake

This Thomas the Tank Engine cake was one I made for one of my son's for his 4th birthday.

I'm afraid it was a bit of a rush job so it is far from prefect but I though you might like to see it anyway, (such is the life of the poor cake decorators child, always getting last minute cakes, lol).

He is of course a big Thomas the Tank fan so he was thrilled with the cake anyway but if I have had more time I would of added railway tracks to the cake board, some little pieces of coal in the back of Thomas, as well as a Fat Controller figurine to stand next to him.

Normally the number on the side of Thomas is a number 1 but naturally I changed it to a number 4 as it was his 4th birthday.

The cake itself was a 'Midnight Delight' (dark chocolate mud cake) with layers of chocolate ganache.  It is always hard to say how many serve a sculpted cake is but I would estimate that this one would be approx 45-55 regular serves. 

The covering & all decorations on the cake are marshmallow fondant.
