Birthday parties!

It was my son's 2nd birthday this past week, yea 2! And since he was turning 2 we made 2 cakes, which is not going to be a tradition! We just happened to have 2 separate family get togethers, therefore, needed 2 separate cakes! The first one we made was very simple, a train done all with a star tip for time saving and sanity saving reasons! It was a replica of the show "Dinasaur Train" which he absolutely goes giddy about!

The second one was a replica of his favourite movie character, Lightning McQueen! Another show he is bonkers about! We just had to do this cake. McQueen is made entirely of cake, covered in fondant. The base cake is a banana cake recipe found in this months Canadian Living, covered in fondant and buttercream icing. The wheels are actually oreos, the perfect size for this! It was such a fun cake to create, and lots of fun to eat too!
