barnabydaisy Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hi everyone, i have landed the job of making my nieces birthday cake this year and she desperately wants a thomas one. i have looked at some recipes and they are all really advanced for a novice like me. so i may have to resort to buying one from sainsburys although i would rather make it myself , has anyone got any ideas? thanks mim x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 swiss rolls, licorice wheels, some roll out icing coloured blue / buttercream. Circle of white roll out icing with a Thomas face drawn on it with squeezy tube icing bought from supermarket. Use lots of sweeties!!!

Lesley Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 You could just make the face from the front - it will be a lot easier... Just use Google Images for ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnabydaisy Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 they both sound great but can you get the icing already blue as the last time i tried to use food colouring i got in a right mess! mim x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Yes, you can. Do you have a cake shop near you? - if not I can let you have details of an online one. There are lots of cake-decorating shops in Ebay - thay are good and will send stuff very promptly. They will also work out just what you need if you phone them up.
