My thoughts:
We were going to buy Matt's birthday cake at a bakery this solar year together with in addition to thus we could focus on picking crabs together with not baking simply we realized that since his birthday is Memorial Day this solar year together with the twenty-four hours before is a Sunday, both bakeries we reckon virtually ordering from would locomote closed. Since it is entirely the ii of us, I ordered this railroad train of tiny cake pans together with made a teeny-tiny layer cake. It was a piddling tricky to figure out the proportions (and you lot lot powerfulness detect you lot lot convey a fleck of icing leftover simply improve every flake skillful much than every flake skillful piddling right?) simply basically it is a regular cake scaled downwards by times almost 3/4.
This cake would also locomote perfect for a child's birthday (they could convey their ain cake all to themselves!) or fifty-fifty made inward multiples for an event. I'm cast of looking forwards to making more than tiny layer cakes downwards the line. It is entirely every flake skillful cute!
