in this video tutorial, I demonstrate how to decorate a two tier cake themed to Thomas the Tank engine using fondant, buttercream and Thomas the tank engine figurines. This is a very detailed cake, although dont let the aesthetics fool you, this cake is much easier to make than it looks! You may just need to set aside 2 to 3 hours decorating time. \r

Buttercream recipe:\r
120 grams butter\r
200 grams icing sugar\r
1/4 tsp vanilla extr\r
1/2 to 1 tsp milk\r
\r
(if it isi easier for you, you can even just combine the butter with the sugar until you have reached the desired consistency without including the milk or vanilla as I did. Only because its a very minimal amount going on the outside and nobody will eat it).\r
\r
Divide the buttercream into two bowls and colour one using green gel food colour for the grass. Leave the other buttercream as is or even add white food colouring, as this portion will be used to create the clouds. \r

The cake was decorated using fodant. For the stand alone decorations, like the number 2, I combined gumpase with the fondant as gumpaste is much more stable, dries quicker and is easier to work with. I also added tylose powder to the mix, and this helps the gumpaste / fondant mixture to dry much quicker. \r
