train cake
I just had to share my boy’s beautiful birthday cake with you. Before you start to think I am some amazing baking extraordinaire super mum (though that would be nice), I have to let you know that I didn’t make the cake. I had my fabulous parents visiting who helped me to prepare a wonderful little party for our Little Man, my Dad made the lovely train.
I can’t believe how excited the kids were over it. They all hovered around singing happy birthday, shouting hooray, and edging each other out of the way to get closer and help blow out the candles. It was very cute.
So thankyou Dad for the lovely cake and thankyou mum for keeping me sane. I will post later some wonderful things that my Little Man’s other grandparents did for him for his birthday.
For now I need to go get some sleep before the bubba needs more nourishment. Saturday nights, oh how you’ve changed!

It’s brilliant! What a talented family you have! Little intimidated by all those amazing kids cakes that actually look like something – so far I’ve managed to keep them happy with ice cream cakes, but I’m sure I’ll be faced with a request soon… xk
Ice cream cake is a great idea, I have never had one of those and I always wanted one. I think living in Darwin it was a little impractical to have ice cream out of the freezer for more than two minutes. It would have been a puddle in no time. I’m lucky my Dad adores making these cakes for us. We had the Australian Women’s Weekly kids cake book book when I was growing up and my Dad always made our birthday cakes from there. I haven’t made many like this, Dad did his first birthday cake too so I have been lucky that I haven’t had to. Though he is setting the standard pretty high for next year, eeek. Here’s the cake he did for my first birthday, almost thirty years ago! https://littlepieceofpie.com/2010/06/12/my-first-birthday-cake/
Yes, it was a magical day and he was definitely the King for the day. Clever Danga – well done – it tasted delicious too….
