Can you put cotton on the funnel?

[nivia91]

@boco8943 Yes you can, but always let your client know that it is there and it is not edible.

I love your cake design! It's definitely not boring :) My son is turning 4 next month and wants a Thomas cake. You've inspired me to try something similar for his cake. I'll probably carve the 4 shape. Hopefully it'll work out. Could you tell me how you made the christmas looking trees and attached the clouds to the sticks? Is the ramp rkt? Thanks in advance!

[nivia91]

@tlienmotu Thank you so much for your lovely words. For the trees, there is a tutorial on how to make them on youtube, the channel is called aine2. The clouds, I first let them dry and then glue them to the styicks using royal icing. As for the ramp, I just used a big peace of fondant and shaped it as a stiff hill. Hope this helps.

@nivia91 The party was this past Sat. and the cake turned out great. I ran out of time so I had to skip some things. BTW, it was tough to cover the big cake board. I made a 40 shaped cake since it was a joint bday party for my husband also. My son and husband loved the cake :) Thx again!

[nivia91]

@tlienmotu I am so glad everything went well. :)

My sons b-day is in July and he's turning 3 and he is obsessed with Thomas. When I saw this cake I absolutely loved it!!! I knew I needed to try and make it for him. If you don't mind me asking, Did you carve the number three or did you use a number cake pan? If so where can I get this cake pan. Also what are the dimensions of the cake board. I want to be exact so everything fits. I can be real anal, lol :) Hope to hear from you soon, Thanks

[nivia91]

@gliciouscakes I hired a number 3 shaped cake tin from a shop near me. You could also buy it from ebay or any other sugarcraft website supplier. For the board, take the tin with you and see which board would be the best for your cake. Good luck!
