Locomotive Cake Tin
& 
keys to grow or shrink the magnifying window.What is there to do when your little one looks you sweetly in the eye, chocolate no doubt smeared all over their cute dimpled face, and says "Mummy, I want a cake shaped like a choo choo train". Most parents would be straight down the bakery handing over their hard earned cash (if indeed they could find one with enough creative bent to produce a train), but not you, you want to make that cake extra special with your personal touch! If you love making cakes like we love making cakes you'll be scouring the web for that perfect cake tin - which is a spot of luck as we just happen to have it! The Locomotive Cake Tin will make you the toast of your train-mad child's next birthday party. The cake we made here (a gorgeous carrot cake - see the recipe below) was not only our first go with the tin, but the first cake our Creative Director had made in ten years. Just remember - when you're a kid you never need a reason to bake a cake, so make sure you spoil yours now and again.
