Cobble it together and gobble it up!

Max’s third birthday cake!

Not exactly a roaring success. He requested a Wilson from Chuggington train and this is what I managed! I made a basic chocolate sponge in a square tin. I needed to sandwich 3 on top of one another (with buttercream) and then trim to get the shape. I used food colourings and fondant icing to get the exterior.  I added a bit of strawberry squash (double concentrate) to the red icing to give it a bit of strawberry flavour interest.
Here is a picture of what he is supposed to look like in case you aren't familiar with the joys of Chuggington!
He looks a bit sad for my liking but the boy was very happy indeed!
