Oh yes!! Very nice cake!! How long did it take you to make and decorate?

Wow, that really worked. First time uploading pics!! O.k. I had some more that I tried uploading and it keeps saying that there is a problem. I'll keep trying. I made a Barbie cake using the BB for my DD's 3rd Birthday and a golf cake for DH's aunt's birthday.

Thank you! Well, I baked three cakes in loaf pans, that took about 2 hours. Then it took about 4 hours to decorate. I have some better pictures that show it from the side, but they're not on the computer yet.

Thanks! I think he is adorable too!! He had such a great time eating the cake. If you can see, the second train car has a miniature birthday cake on it with a number 1 candle in it. I gave him the miniature cake and he devoured it!!

That is a terrific cake! Keep the pictures so you can show him when he doesn't remember it anymore.

Very cute cake - had to wait to peek until DS went to bed or he'd ask for one!I had to ask him for his preschool survey of what he wants to be when he grows up...right now he is dead set on being a firefighter and choo-choo driver (engineer).

Thanks! He had no clue what was going on, but the rest of us had fun! LOL I will definitely keep all pictures so he can see how much fun it was!

O.k., I got some other pictures to upload. I'm having fun now!! Here is DD's birthday cake, DH's aunt's birthday cake, my DD and me at the Science Center where I work.

Shawna - those are awesome! You're making me want to go sign up for a Wilton course right now, as my skills are shameful when compared to yours and some others on here

Shawna...what adorable cakes! I love, love, love the train cake! DS would really like that one, too! You have quite a talent for decorating cakes...you and Jennifer (jrstephens) are very good at it!

Your kids are both cutie pies and look just like their mama!

What great cakes and adorable kids. I love that Barbie cake, my cousin is getting married, how long did it take to decorate?

Thanks!! The Barbie cake didn't take too long to decorate and could easy be made into a bride's cake!! I didn't even think of that. It took me 2-3 hours to decorate, but some of that time was doing the crumb layer and getting the frosting all mixed up. To just decorate it, probably an hour to hour and a half. HTH
