Next Stop on the Coco Cake Express! River's Cutie Train Birthday

Lookit this cutie pie train cake I made for River's 5th birthday party! I have been so lucky to make many delightful cakes and cupcakes for this lovely family's birthday parties. This might be on of my favourites thusfar though... I think it's due to the cute little faces on the engine and the caboose, and the cute red, blue, brown and white colour theme!

Dark chocolate cupcakes and Berry Good cupcakes with fresh raspberries, the cupcakes all scooched up together in rows, made up the train body.

I'm Mr. Happy Caboose Face! Look at my cute little cupcake train wheels!

This engine's been up all night, his eyes are baggy from too much choo-choo-ing...

Happy Birthday River! Custom flag I made!

Choo choo chee choo!

And sweet little vintage-looking gingham cupcake liners too.

Side view! Train cake attack!

And the cutest River in front of his special cake... Happy Birthday, River! And thank you Sarah for the fun order!

I Choo Choo Choose You

Party train, party train... Barb phoned me with a cute request: a choo choo train themed birthday cupcake cake for her adorable little grandson Parker's 1st birthday. When Barb showed up to pick it up, she loved it, which made old Coco Cake sole proprietor L.K.S. happy. This was my first attempt at a train made of cupcakes- the cupcakes are a mixture of chocolate and vanilla, and the engine and the caboose are both vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and fondant covering. My favourite part may well be the "wheels" made of cupcakes underneath the engine and caboose. Oh and the black "puff" of smoke coming out of the engine top, which was black colored fondant made to look like cloudy puffs attached to a wooden stick poking out the top.

Thanks for the great order Barb! and Happy Birthday Parker! :)

Til next time Cake World,
