- Train Cakes:
- 1 vanilla cake box
- 1/3 cup hazelnut, chopped
- 2 drops red food color
- 2 drops green food color
- 2 cups powder sugar, sifted
- 1 cup boiling water or more
- 1 can Betty Crocker vanilla icing
- Decoration:
- Colored marshmallows
- Colored Nestle Smarties
- Colored jelly bites
- Colored sugar stars
- Silver and golden marbles
- 1 ½ cup shredded coconut
- 2 drops green food color
- Ribbon liquorice
Directions
- Train cakes:
- Preheat oven to 370F. Grease two 20cm rounded tube cake pans, a cake loaf pan and 2 muffin cups.
- Make the cake as directed in the box, divide the batter in two and mix one with red food color and the other with green color. Sprinkles chopped nuts in the two rounded pans and divide the batter in them. Fill the cake loaf pan with red batter. Bake for 40 minutes. Invert on a wire rack and cool completely.
- Mix half of the powder sugar with boiling water until you get a thick mixture and pour over the red rounded cake and leave to set.
- Mix the rest of the powder sugar with a drop of red color and some boiling water and use to pour over the rounded green cake. Leave to set.
- Divide the baked cake loaf in half and use one of them to make the leading train car as directed in the pictures. Use the vanilla icing for making the outline of the car (windows, roof, doors, lights and wheels). Also the vanilla icing works so well as a glue in making the wheels.
- Cut the set rounded cakes in 2 ½ inches slices to make the train cars and use the candies to decorate them using the vanilla icing as glue. Follow the pictures.
- Place the leading car over the chocolate cake, back facing the bigger Mango cake. Use the rest of the chocolate ganache to make a circular train track over the Mango cake and arrange the cut 2 ½ inches slices over the track. Use the ribbon Liquorice to attach cars together. And decorate cars with the stars and sliver marbles. I almost forgot to make the wheels in that step!!
- Decorating the cake base:
- Cut the rest of the red loaf cake to make two 2 inches steps and place them in front of the chocolate cake using your icing glue. Mix the coconut with the green food color and sprinkle all around the cakes giving the look of grass. Make clear long passes through coconut and pipe chocolate ganach to make some train tracks. Use the rest of the candies and marshmallows fro decoration as shown in the pictures. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
