Train Chasers

So you've probably heard of storm chasers...well, we have become train chasers. Samuel and Seth LOVE trains. Samuel has used Google Earth to see exactly where the tracks run and Zachary and I just hang on for the ride while David drives like crazy to either beat one (so we get a good lookin'-at-spot) or follow one as far as we can. It is nuts.

My sister-in-law sent me this idea from a magazine years ago. In fact, I used it for Samuel's 5th birthday and as soon as Seth saw the picture...this was the cake for him. I'm not very good with making cakes so if it recognized by my child...I've done good! :-)

The makings of a cake...



The outcome.

Seth said, "Well, hello happy birthday train!" So, it was recognized as a train. Mission Accomplished.


Seth is such a blessing to our family, we are so thankful for him. Happy Birthday, Seth!

How adorable ~ my Ethan is also into trains and LOVES them. Nothing makes him happier then if we are in our SUV and have to stop and wait for a train to pass by, his whole face lights up ~ I think you did a GREAT job on the cake.
Amy, you did a great job on the train cake! It is so cute and is way beyond recognizable. I am sure he was one happy little guy! Send him our love and happy birthday wishes!

Wow! I'm impressed! I have never been a cake baker. I always left that up to my sister who makes fabulous cakes. Now that she's 20+ hrs away, I've had to venture out and try my hand at cake baking. I haven't gotten that creative, though. You inspire me girl.

Great job on the cake. My son wanted a dragon cake for his birthday party, which was last weekend. I did race cars for his 1st birthday that are done similar to the train.
