Q..Do you want Nanna to make you a Train Cake for your Birthday?
A..A resounding Nooooooooooooo!

But they (DD and DS) used to be so happy with one once upon a time.

I am going to pay for a professional Train Cake to be made, that’ll teach em…..ungrateful little ……. Lol.

My GS would love that train cake. He is into steam trains.

They don’t know how lucky they are to have a gran like you. Mine never even gave a present but that was a different time.

Mine always asked for cakes which I was happy to make. Now they are parents they make them for their children. Homemade is better than any shop bought cake you can buy.

That’s rather special. But I like the sausage nose better. 🫘🫘🫘

That's a great train cake - who gets the chimney?

My G'son designs his own bd cakes and we make them together as best as I can manage. We have had some very interesting flavour combinations over the years - he's 12 now - mango and peppermint with chocolate sprinkles anyone?
Thankfully he's happy with variations on a round sponge. Don't think I could cope at all with a special shape.

Ooh I thought you meant that cake you used to get in train stations! Wrapped in cellophane and only a little bit stale….
That train cake is amazing, beats my Dukes of Hazard cake effort hollow. (It was a very long time ago!)

Adorable.

Our GC and GGC are icing biscuits almost every day, after naps and walks - soon once upon a time events. smile

Festive season is more than a bit tiring for oldies!
