This cake is made from pure butter buttercream colored into 12 different colors. The pictures was placed on the cake using the piping gel transfer technique from a photo we found on the internet. Seth was turning four so he wanted four balloons which are made using the 3-D build up technique and a tip #12 to make them very real looking. The enitre train is done in tip #13 stars, tip #3 outline and then tip #12 fillin on the tires and tip #46 for the train tracks and #233 for the grass and #249 for the bush. The cloud is also done using the build up technique and tip #12. Given this is all real butter it had to be made quickly as to prevent melting. This photo also shows the rainbow colored bead border designed to match the balloons on the cake. This is a half sheet cake, hand buttercream with our homemade half butter, half whipped cream buttercream base in sky blue underneath the train.
