Shern's CHOO CHOO 2nd B'day Cake

In just a blink of an eye (many blinks actually!), Shern turns two!
His actual birthday is today 6th June, but we threw a birthday party for him last Saturday.

Just like last year's cake, I wanted to personalized Shern's Birthday Cake.
I was still too chicken to bake the birthday cake, so I just ordered the plain lychee flan cake from Ritz. And then we decorated it ourselves, Shu-Min & I.

For this year's party, I chose the Train Theme. Shern loves trains. Actually, he loves all vehicles.
After 1 hour, this is what we came out with.


top view of the cake

*Chocolate Rocky sticks for railway track*
*Upside-down Rocky sticks for the fence*
*M&Ms for YIU-SHERN*
*A plastic tree and crossing for added effect*
*A Happy Birthday tag and a '2' candle*


Side view of the cake

*Oreos for the circle base at the sides of the cake*
*Alphabet biscuits for the words HAPPY BDAY*

And of course the stars of the cake and also my birthday present for Shern:
*Thomas the Tank Engine*
*James the Tank Engine*

Ok, some closed-up photos of the cake:


This is how the whole cake looks like.

Another awesome one-of-a-kind CHOO CHOO 2nd Birthday Cake for Shern!
