Train Cake

‘No special occasion only promised to make it cake’

When we finished the father’s day cake, my little son said: ‘Now mummy, you can make the next one’ :-) No matter that there wasn’t any occasion coming up in our family in the near future, order was made, I was told to come up with the next cake because we’d just run out of cakes which was not acceptable as I noticed. I asked him what sort of cake he was thinking about and he came up with the idea of a train cake because he was really missing the one he got for his birthday (in April). I don’t know how you can miss a cake but this is what he told me so I thought I should make him happy and get things done. A few days later I told him there was a surprise waiting for him at home but he can only have it after dinner. He said: ‘Mummy, I know it’s the train cake because I asked you to make one for me! And you were so nice to make it!’
I used the good old proven recipe of ‘Jokai cake’ for the sponge and filling, topped with a little raspberry jam and fondant for the icing. Smarties and some chocolate fingers served as for decoration. Added a great amount of love on top and the result was yummy.
