Train Party


It was Zion's second birthday this past weekend. I can't believe he's two! How time flies...and how big he's getting. So, although he's still too young to remember it in the future, we decided to have a little party for him. We invited his friends (and ours), blew up balloons, and made cake. As those of you who know me can imagine, decorating the cake was my favorite part. It was a train cake. My mom got me this cute pan I just had to try out from Williams Sonoma..."railway cake pan." The cars slid out amazingly well and I was left with a nine car train to decorate.


I got some "disposable" plastic cake decorating tips from the grocery store, made icing, cut a hole in a plastic baggie (had to reinforce it with duct tape so it would not rip) and went to town. I also got m & m's, mini chocolate covered candies, and gum drops to help me along. Took a while, but it was worth it! So cute! I also made a cardboard box train for the kids to play in while they were at the party, but that was much easier and took much less time.


Anyway, everyone had a great time and the cake (as well as the hot dogs, cardboard train, and Zion's new toys) was a hit!
