Hey Mamas out there!
I am looking for a train cake for my son’s 2nd birthday party next week. I am having more trouble finding one than I thought I would. The places that I have called either tell me that they only have a Thomas the Train ‘Kit” which has plastic trains that they put on the cake or they can try to free hand a train on a cake but they haven’t done a train before. I thought this would be easy, but no. His party is just trains, not Thomas.
So my question to you is this. Do you recommend a bakery that makes train cakes? I would love to have a cake in the shape of a train and decorated with the colors of his party, which would be ideal. But at this point I am game for anything. At first I wanted a cupcake cake in the shape of a train but evidently that is not possible.
Any suggestions will be most appreciated
Thank you for all of your suggestions! I had Aamina from http://www.brilliantcakes.com make the train cakes. They turned out great! Thanks again!
Try Sweet Occasions. http://thesweetoccasions.com/ Cathy is very nice and reasoanble. She designed a Supergirl cake for my daughter. ###-###-####
try a place that makes wedding cakes. When we lived in FL I always used my wedding cake people for specialty cakes. One year they even made a pirate ship cake from one of the Veggie tales movies. They are always beautiful and taste great. Good luck.
PS William Sonoma has an actual cake pan that has train shapes. I recently got one but have not used it yet so I don't know how easy it would be...
I would strongly recommend Dolce Vita Cakes (www.dolcevitacakes.com). The bakery is in Little Elm, but I know she has a delivery radius - well worth it. She's done jungle animal cupcakes, a 3-D barn, airplane cake and soon a Wiggles car for our family.
Good luck,
D.

Williams Sonoma has a train cake pan. Check out their website. You just bake the cake in the pan and decorate it using candy. Very EASY! I can email you a pic of the one I did for my son if you would like.
There is a bakery in Bedford that makes them. It is called Texas Star. Awesome cakes. ###-###-####. It is off of Harwood.
Hi Christine -
My oldest son turned 2 in August and all he wanted on his birthday cake was a train and M&Ms. So, I had a cake made with a train carrying M&Ms. It was just a sheet cake with a cute train drawn on it. The lady that made the cake is located near the George Bush Turnpike and Rosemeade - Carrollton area, I think. Anyway, her name is Mary King and her number is ###-###-####. Good luck!
Call my good friend, Heather Hamm. She's fantastic! She goes way beyond the usual, obvious cakes. She takes great pride in them--and, they taste fantastic! call her at ###-###-#### or ###-###-#### (cell). Tell her L. recommeded you--believe me, you won't be disappointed. Oh, and she delivers!!
Try Texas Star Bakery (www.texasstarbakery.com) in Hurst. They do a great job with working with you to get what you want.
Try Carasoul Cakes on Central expresswy. They made a caterpillar cake for us and it was adorable!
I was in the exact same boat last year. I wanted trains but not Thomas really. I ended up getting the plastic train from birthday express. The cake was different they showed it on before so I printed the picture and took it to Wal-mart as a guide. They just made a regular cake and sprayed it green and put a boarder around it and then drew some tracks in brown in a curved shape across the top (like a rainbow sort of) then I could add my own train. I know it's not really what you wanted but an idea. They also drew some grass and sprinkled a few flowers in the "field".
Good luck finding something better!

Christine, I haven't seen bakeries that do train cakes, but I've looked online and have seen websites that tell you how to make your own train cake. They didn't look too hard (I'm no expert at making cakes, myself). Just a thought.
Good luck!
I make customized cakes and I have done a train before. I don't have a picture but I can do an upright train if you'd like. My website is http://www.brilliantcakes.com.
