This Was A Fun Cake To Make! The inspiration behind this cake was the arrival of all of our family into town. Sarah and I wanted to make a fun cake that was especially appealing to the many toddlers running around. For Christmas, I bought Sarah a train mold for making cakes, and this seemed like the perfect time to use it. Taking it one step beyond, we developed a story-line, and decided we needed a mountain. We used two full boxes of Rice Crispies to make the mountain. The train tracks were made of modeling chocolate. The ground was made from yellow cake, and the train cars were vanilla pound cake. Sarah went to town making the animals, while I made the trailer home. We had the arms left over from Gnome cake, so they were added to the story, becoming the Giant of Marshmallow Mountain. Unfortunately he was run over by the train while digging for chocolate gems. A bit "Grimm" in style, but the kids really liked it. I really think this was a cake about having fun and family oriented. It wasn't as overly designed as I'm finding I'm partial to, but It was by far the best tasting cake I've had.
