Trains

This cake was for my niece's 3rd birthday.  I have to admit here that it was my first attempt at a train.  But she loved it even though I saw lots of flaws!

I used several different cake flavors, buttercream, and marshmallow fondant.

As you can see, I was brave enough to tint the fondant with liquid food dye. (Don't forget gloves!)

This was the first time I tried marshmallow fondant, my son's birthday, so I wasn't quite ready to color it.  I made chocolate and yellow cake and a buttercream icing.  I was brave enough to dye the buttercream.  

(And the birthday boy was brave enough to stick his finger in it when no one was looking!)

The best thing about this cake was that most people actually ate the fondant!

We were all quite surprised since fondant usually doesn't taste too good.
