If you were ever a kid, know some kids, babysit kids, walk past kids on the street, then there is no doubt in my mind that you know who Thomas the Tank Engine is. Both of my cousins who are now 21 and 17, my brother who is 17, and even now my little cousin age 4 loved/loves Thomas and Percy and Sir Topham Hatt. They had the videos, the railroads, the trains, the backpacks and pretty much anything that was manufactured with that cheeky little engine's face on it.
Thomas' round face naturally lends itself wonderfully to cupcakes and what better way to beat out William's third birthday Sesame Street cupcakes?
We made simple chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream frosting tinted in different colors. Railroad tracks were fashioned out of fondant and the tanks were painted Nilla Wafers.
Not to brag or anything, but I'd say the cupcakes were a hit!
PS - Now taking suggestions for the big number 5 birthday for William in November...after all, how do you beat George, Sesame Street and Thomas?!
