Train cake for my 21st straight out of The Australian Women’s Weekly Cake Book, the definative source for all novelty cakes. No regrets.

I’ve always wanted the train cake. Always. My mum has made me not only the Minnie Mouse cake, but the Puss in Boots. My mum was a total cake pimp from ages 26-30.

I also think I’m the only livejournal user with the interest “australianwomen’sweeklychildren’sbirthdaycakebook.” Hmm.

I had the train cake once… it was pretty sweet.

The year after though, my parents spent hours making the rocket cake, only to wake up in the morning and find one of the legs had broken, splattering cake everywhere, and completely destroying my sugary trip to the moon. It was like Apollo 1 all over again. It was also my last Women’s Weekly cake.

My brother had the train cake once. I vaguely recall something about a zoo cake, myself? But I may just be remembering the cookbook. Such a gem, that book.
