Another request for Thomas train

I got a mail from Shane asking if i could make a Thomas train cake for her as that was her son’s favourite toy at the moment. She had also done her homework and provided me with a picture of the cake she wanted me to copy and asked if i could do it for her.

After looking at the design i said it wasn’t a problem and off i went to do the cake for her. Here’s what the final cake looked like.. notice the little accents of the mushroom, ladybug and snails on the cake?

Barney and friends cake for Luke!

This week has been really hectic for me with 3 requests for cakes all due on Saturday and Sunday, plus some cupcakes as well!! Whew! I think the 29th of November is a very very popular date and there are lots and lots of kids with birthdays due on that date considering the number of requests i got for cakes and cupcakes for this day!! Unfortunately, due to the overwhelming number of requests, i had to turn some of them down which made me a little upset So here’s a shout out to all those who i had to disappoint. I really am disappointed that i didn’t have a chance to do up your cakes and cupcakes, but i do hope that in the future i’ll have the opportunity to do up your cakes for you. Thank you so much for your wonderful support

Okie dokey… enough of my rambling… here’s today’s latest post A Barney and friends cake for Luke! I’ve had some other requests for these in cupcake form, but none confirmed the order. In the end, Gina was the one with enough faith in me to finally confirm the order for a Barney and friends cake Yay!! A new challenge.

Now to be very frank.. I’ve never watched an episode of Barney and friends and the only impression i ever had of this children’s program is that there is a purple dinosaur. So when Gina asked me to do a Barney and friends cake for her, i immediately got onto the information super highway and started researching on images of Barney and his friends. After spending an entire day looking at images of Barney, i was seeing purple (haha… sorry bad pun but i couldn’t resist :p), but the pictures gave me a good idea as to what the characters looked like and how to go about modelling them for the cake

So off i went to start on Barney. The 1st 2 figurines of Barney and friend came out too small to be used on the cake, so i ended up chucking them. But it was great practice though. Gina wanted something nice and bright for her cake as well.. so we decided on a party theme for the cake, and to give credance to that theme, i added some balloons, presents and colourful confetti circles in various colours! I thought the cake turned out great and the confetti really gave the cake a festive air Here’s a shout out to Luke, wishing him a very Happy Birthday and i hope that he liked the cake
