Happy 3rd birthday to a train obsessed birthday boy!
This couldn't be any tube train but a Cockfosters Tube train.
Not made with a swiss roll cake but a flat cake cut with the biggest round cookie cutter I could find, sliced flat at the bottom so the shapes stand up and stuck together with butter icing. Whole thing covered with butter icing then covered with coloured ready to roll icing from the supermarket.
When will we be able to buy Wilton colour gels or similar in the supermarket here like they have in the States? By far the best thing Kiddie Cake Maker has found to colour ready to roll icing. Tesco, Sainsburys, Asda, Morrisons - take notice!
Tip you could try for actually being able to write with the writing icing you buy in the supermarket.... put it in the microwave to 5 secs then another 5 if really needed. I'm sure this probably goes against any instructions but it worked for me!
