We baked a train cake but didn't follow through with the decorating part (or the frosting part for that matter), without which it is not so impressive as in the picture. We served it as a cake salad of sorts, with hunks of cake, frosting, and ice cream cake in bowls. The ice cream cake was free from our favorite ice cream place because it was Dylan's first birthday (picture and proof of age required).
