Thomas Birthday cake for Keri

My mother and I used 3 different kinds of chocolate
and just carved and used LOTS of frosting to put layers together.
The tutorial I found online suggested using fondant to make the face,
but that was too much work so I cut out a face from the paper plate.
It was my brother's idea... also I know Thomas is number 1,
but since it was David's second birthday we put on a 2 :)

holy cow woman, that cake is awesome! Maybe you should make mine :) We bought frozen pound cake and we're going to "carve" it as well. I have half of a toy Thomas play dough thingy that I'm going to use for the face. What is it with boys and large blue locomotives? Thanks for the photos!!

Hey, me again. Just read that David is getting up in the middle of the night. We've gone through that. I read somewhere that one reason that they do it is because they have to go to the bathroom and that if you sit them on the potty, they'll go and then go right back to sleep. Just something else to try.
