Thomas fondant cake

If last month I tried venturing into cake decorating with butter cream (read--> here), this month I managed to squeeze in between the hecticnschedule to try playing with sugarpaste fondant!

My partner is still Diah @ MamaPasha... and this project is absolutely on Lil' Cikebum's fav--- Thomas the Tank Engine that is!

This is her delectable steamed chocolate cake.
I tell u...it's like the Gardenia bread. I mean, it tastes great that u can even eat it on its own...no buttercream, icing and whatnot needed!!!

Thomas' face. Not bad, ay?

But looks like Thomas needs botox to diminish the wrinkles :P

Actually, the first try turned out to be similar (terlupa nak snap gambar)... but I wasn't so sure. So as usual, I asked the expert--my Cikebum la (who else?) and he said "Thomas!".

And I was indeed smiling ear to ear :)

After about an hour of colouring, kneading and shaping....Tadaaa!!!

My Thomas fondant cake.

Err...don't u think he needs a facelift? :P

Lil' Cikebum admiring the Thomas. He doesnt have a clue that it's a cake, I reckon.

"Let me try... Aaahhh...this train is soft, Mama!"

"Hello, Pa. Ini kue nya udah jadi ni... Is bikin Thomas. Kalau aku yang bikin Thomas nya, ntar jadi Barney..."

(Hahaha...mesti Diah nak bunuh aku lepas ni) :P

Look, Sayang... Mama made this. Would u like to have something like this on your birthday?

Thanks, Little Pasha... for tolerating so much with Adam this time. Adam buat Thomas Pasha macam harta sendiri pun dia cool je!

Hmm...I think this 1st attempt is just satisfactory. So, gotta come up with Plan B for Cikebum's birthday.
