All aboard! This cake was designed to celebrate a 75th birthday of a life long steam train enthusiast.

The client didn’t want a fully carved train cake but did want a train represented in some way on the cake. I decided to take iconic elements from vintage steam trains and incorporate them onto a double barrel round base to help give the cake a bit of depth. The lights are finished with isomalt and the cake is airbrushed with metallic paints. The lettering on the side of the cake are the birthday boy’s initials.

Inside dark chocolate fudge cake with vanilla swiss meringue buttercream and chocolate ganache.
