Thomas the Train

Here is how I made this cake...

Layered chocolate and coffee cake

crumb coat and top coat with light blue buttercream for the sky.
Its best to leave it naked for a more realistic sky effect.

How I made Mr. Conductor.....

Start with the base shape

Shoes and pants hem

Stack all parts together

Add jacket.  Did this by placing required piece of fondant on the
white base and trim it directly on the base.  

Add arms and yellow twisted candle to hold balloon up.
