Very nice :)I saw a photo of a Grandma's train cake on a cooking blog today and she'd made a cake with 21 carriages by special request for her grandson's 21st birthday.

What intrigued me - after being in awe of the 21 carriages - was the 'smoke' coming out of the train engine.It was made with popcorn, threaded onto a wire of some sort and it looked exactly like puffing engine smoke.

Elliehen,The Australian Women's Weekly Cake decorating book from my olden days, had a train with this 'smoke'.I made it for a few family birthdays. (Not with twenty one carriages, however.)

I loved that recipe book. It had step by step instructions that made cake decorating for children's birthdays, a breeze.
