Train Cake

This cake was a lot of fun to make!  The engine is a yellow cake with blue, white, black, yellow, and red buttercream icing while the cars are chocolate cake covered in the same icing.  The engine was cut out of a 9x13 cake and the cars are each half of a 9x13 cake.  I used Raisinets as the coal, Twix as the lumber, and hooked the trains together with Twizzlers.  This cake easily fed more than 40 people.
