Thomas the Train Cupcakes ... Birthday Dreams

And #3 of 3 for the cupcakes made last week.  This was one I quickly put together, not one of my best designs but they were still cute!

What you Need:
White Modeling Chocolate (Candy Clay)

Blue Modeling Chocolate (Candy Clay)

Red Modeling Chocolate (Candy Clay)
Green Modeling Chocolate (Candy Clay)
Yellow Modeling Chocolate (Candy Clay)
Black Modeling Chocolate (Candy Clay)
Large Circle Cutter

Wilton Candy Eyes

I found from watching the Food Network the Candy Clay I make is called Modeling Chocolate to many decorators.  Hmm go figure!  I made white Modeling Chocolate, I had pink left over from the Monster High Cupcakes.

Modeling Clay

12oz Candy Melts (In Pink and White)

1/4 Cup light corn Syrup

Melt your Candy Melts in microwave (mine takes about 2 minutes). Stir them to become smooth and add the corn syrup.  It will become thick and form a ball.  Wrap in plastic wrap and let it sit out and dry.  Takes a few hours or over night is best. (Alexis note: I found to roll this out use a little powder sugar (like you would do with flour), also you have to kneed it a little like you would dough to make it easy to roll out).

Thomas

Cut out a large circle of the Blue modeling chocolate and a medium circle of white modeling chocolate.  Cut a triangle of black modeling chocolate.  Add the black strip to the top center and put the white over the top. Add your candy eyes and make a nose, cheek and mouth of black gel.

Thanks for Stopping by!

Don't forget to see the parties I link up to HERE.

What is happening, here!

I must apologize for not coming around a lot, it has been super crazy here!  The remodel is in swing, we switched from the kitchen to the bedroom this week.  So all my bedroom moved to the living room, which then moved into my office. 

I'm happy to report the bedroom is almost complete, just a few pieces of molding left and the closet doors to be hung up and replacing the window that is now held up with duct tape .... kid kicking ball vs window so didn't fair well ... lol.

THEN I of course signed up for not ONE but THREE cakes this week for Birthday Dreams (bringing birthdays to homeless kids).  I love bringing smiles to these kids.  But 3 cakes while my kitchen is under remodel was trying and I had to head to my besties to use her kitchen.

Hope you all have a fab weekend, I hope to be back to stopping by in the next week or so.
