Train cake success!
Ok, honestly, it’s not my best decorating effort. If I was using candies and such it would have been better. But who am I kidding? A bunch of 3 and 4 year olds are not going to care that it isn’t my best effort.
So, without furthre ado, here is my final project:
straight from the mold:
And, the finished product:
So, there ya have it. Relatively quick and painless, and very easy. Though, I did discover that when their instructions say “To ensure good detail on the cakes, spread the batter so it reaches the top edges of each well and is slightly lower (emphasis mine) in the center of the well” they ACTUALLY mean a lot lower. I did the “slightly lower” thing and had to cut off a bunch of cake to get a flat bottom. It wasn’t a bad thing, I just felt like I had wasted batter/cake. I’m wiser for the wear next time

This happened w/ my castle cake at Halloween. I sheared off the bottom & crumbled it around like it was the ground.
Did the mold clean up well?
Oh, that’s a good idea. I’ll remember that for next time.
Yes, it did, actually. The cakes came out very cleanly and there was very little to clean up, except for a few crumbs and a bit of the cooking spray. There really was no scrubbing involved, just a fairly quick wipe with soap and water
