Longest train cakes made.

Which is the funkiest kind of train cakes one can imagine having. There is a child who is asking for a train cake for his birthday. Well he wants to have the longest train cake ever. I would not know where to get such a cake from. I would not even know which the worlds longest train cake is? He is definitely sure he wants the train cake and nothing more. I was planning that since he has about 30 friends coming we could have 50 train compartments. I shall tell the baker to make it slightly spread out so it looks long. Should I get it to go through a tunnel; do you think that would look nice?

Or, top each of the train cars according to a theme, such as only candies in a single color or according to the taste of the cake recipient. Look for novelty candies that resemble train-related items, including coal, luggage and engineer hats, at party supply stores to further embellish the cak<span style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-style: inherit;">e. You can order them online and they are available in bakery shops as well. Yes this is good idea I think once I have gone to my friends brother party there first time I have seen longest train cake. You have to follow these tips while arranging longest train cake:</span></span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; background: white;"><span>&nbsp; </span>Chill four loaves of pound cake in the freezer for 30 minutes. Remove the cakes and place them on a dry cutting board. Carve one of the loaves in half through the middle, as if you were slicing it open for a sandwich. Cut the top section in half crosswise and slice one of those halves crosswise again. Turn the longest section of cake so the cut side is facing down. Apply a thin layer of frosting on one side of the medium size piece of cake and place it squarely on the right side of the top of the longest piece. Smear a thin layer of white frosting on the flat side of each of the smallest pieces and layer those pieces on top of the right end of the cake; the right side of the cake will be the back of the train engine. Lay black licorice in two lines that are parallel to each other and 2 inches apart across a 13-by-19-inch cake board; this is the base for your train track. Make your track wavy, a complete circle or a straight line. Cut black licorice into 30 2-inch long pieces. Place the 2-inch long pieces across the sides of the train track 2 inches apart and apply chocolate frosting to the ends to hold the candy-cross ties in place. Mix white frosting with food coloring gel with each color in a separate small bowl, depending on how many colors you want to use for frosting your train cake. Frost the top and sides of the train engine with your choice of tinted frosting and place it on one end of the train track. Frost the sides and top of the other three loaves of pound cake. Position the cake cars on the track behind the train engine, leaving a 1- to 2-inch gap between each car. Now your longest train cake is ready to cut.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; background: white;"><br /></span></span></p>
