Thomas the Train cake

The last cake in the triplet series is for Izzy, she's the youngest. Her request: Thomas the Train. With this cake, I felt most pressed for time. It was the last one to make and I began early Saturday morning. I liked the way it turned out, but since I felt rushed, I could have done better. Hey it's just the perfection coming out of me - I can't help it.

Miss Izzy.

Thomas was made out of these cake shapes...

and turned into this. I had a lot of cake leftover from all three cakes so I made cake balls of course!

The base. I really like the wheels, but the more I worked on the train, the heavier it became and started crushing the wheels.

When I saw this banner, I thought it looked familar. I asked Maranda if she used the DIY tutorial on my blog from last year. She had! That's exciting. She simplified the process which is a great idea because the other one took forevs.

This is the aftermath of triplet gifts. I was amazed. I can only imagine what their Christmas looks like.

Pretty decorations around the house. I'm a sucker for poms.

I am pretty sure this was Izzy's favorite gift. It's Jack Skellington. I bet she has it with her right now. Happy Birthday to Izzy! I look forward to watching the girls grow even more this next year. They are such special gifts to anyone that knows them.

    These three cakes are so impressive - I can't believe you got them all done for the same party! The sculpting and all the fondant work especially amazes me. Very, very cool!
