If you're from the 80s, like me, or were alive in the 80s, and you're Australian, you probably know what The Train Cake is. It's from the Australian Women's Weekly Birthday Cake book, and it is AMAZING. I've always wanted to make one, and my husband's 30th birthday is coming up. I think I've found my opportunity. Yes, I could wait until I have a, you know, child, but I think my husband will do. He's cute, and can be childlike, and he likes trains. And cake. He probably prefers the cake. That doesn't really bother me.
So, the plan is:
1. Ask Mum if I can borrow the cookbook. Actually just did this while writing this post. TICK
2. Figure out if it can all be done with natural food colouring. Thinking not, so start the process of accepting that.
3. Figure out if I really NEED to use packet cake mix as specified. Surely I could just make buttercake?
4. Buy trolley full of lollies.
5. Tell husband to get the HELL OUT of the kitchen while I make it!
His birthday is 7 June, so photos shortly after that I think. When I figure out how to post photos.
