I have been dreading the day I got a request for a ''thomas or friends'' cake.... so much so I think I developed a phobia haha, everytime I had a call about a little boy's cake, It filled me with panic! :o)) until they asked for something else..... But after 1 year of cake decorating I get my first request for Henry. I am glad I have done one now, it was not as bad as I thought it would be, so I will not be dreading the request anymore.... as they say, best to face your fears!! :o))
He is rather large, he's on a 15" board.

As I have a new airbrush i thought i would give it a go....it's not really what i had in my mind....but for my first attempt it was okay, Charlotte and all the friends thought it was wonderful...so thats all that counted x
Guys! This is a HUGE goal for me! I have wanted to do this cake for MONTHS and finally- HERE IT IS!
Andrea's Sweetcakes Design (of course;) )
Cake
1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® white cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and egg whites called for on cake mix box
2 teaspoons almond extract
6 drops red food color
Garnish
4 oz vanilla-flavored candy coating (almond bark), chopped
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Red food color
Frosting
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/4 cup shortening
1 teaspoon almond extract
4 cups powdered sugar
4 to 5 tablespoons milk
1. Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom and sides of 2 (9- or 8-inch) round cake pans with baking spray with flour. In large bowl, beat cake ingredients, including 2 teaspoons almond extract and 6 drops food color, as directed on box. Pour into pans.
2. Bake as directed on box for 9- or 8-inch rounds pans or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes. Remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
3. Meanwhile, in small microwavable bowl, microwave candy coating uncovered on High 1 minute, stirring twice, until melted and smooth. Stir in 2 teaspoons oil. Spoon about half the melted coating into another bowl; stir in 2 or 3 drops food color to tint it light pink.
4. Line 6-ounce custard cup or other small bowl with foil. Pour half of the untinted coating into foil-lined bowl. Drop half of the pink coating on top; pull a knife through coatings to make marbled design. Repeat with remaining untinted and tinted coatings, adding on top of marbled coatings. Refrigerate about 20 minutes or until set; remove from refrigerator. (If refrigerated longer, let stand at room temperature 10 minutes to soften.)
5. In large bowl, beat butter, shortening, 1 teaspoon almond extract, the powdered sugar and 4 tablespoons of the milk with electric mixer on low speed until well blended. Beat on medium speed, adding enough of the remaining 1 tablespoon milk until fluffy and spreadable.
6. Place 1 cake layer, rounded side down, on serving plate; frost top. Top with second layer, rounded side up. Frost side and top of cake.
7. Remove coating from bowl; peel off foil. With vegetable peeler, make curls by pulling peeler around the outside edge of block of coating. Place curls on top of cake.
High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): Follow High Altitude directions on cake mix box for 2 (9- or 8-inch) round cake pans.

I made these cake (chocolate cake, chocolate buttercream) in one night from 22.00 to 3.00, for my 2 daughters to offer it to their teachers. I've done the little one (16 cm) for my youger daughter (3 years) only because she is so jalous of her sister!!
When I was asked to come up with a design for a baby shower with a Nightmare Before Christmas theme I said WHATTTT!!?? Turns out that it was great fun and I was quite pleased with the result!
I heard from the mommy-to-be the day after the party and she was absolutely delighted with the cake and felt that it pulled the whole theme of the party together. I can't ask for more than that :)
