Train Cake

This is the follow up to the butterfly cupcake cake. Crackers wanted me to color the cake batter green, but it is hard to see in the picture. It must have been good because it disappeared!

Butterfly Cupcake Cake

Wow!

My mom found these cute little silicone cupcake pans at the store. She bought us two - a butterfly for Tea and a train for Crackers. I have not had much luck with silicone baking pans before but thought that we would give it a try. Apparently the secret is to let the cake completely cool in the pan. Who knew?

So, we made the cakes yesterday and frosted them today. They were pretty crumby so I didn't spread frosting all over them, I used the flower tip and put the frosting on in spots.

The kids are ecstatic that they butterfly came out so nice and now Crackers wants his train cupcakes. I figure if I practice at it a bit more, I can make these cakes for the kids' birthday. We shall see.

The bottom picture is the back of the package that has the layout on it.
