I used a Wilton cake pan for the train-shaped cake, decked out with oreo wheels, sugar cone smoke stack and marshmallow smoke (thanks for the idea!). The marshmallows were a BIG hit- even moreso than the cake for the bday boy.
A few pieces of poster board and craft foam... paper?... made for a train that ran along the back of the couch.
With white balloons for steam. I was pretty proud of that bit. ;-)
I got the idea for the Happy Birthday banner from Etsy. Just construction paper, printed out letters, and a couple train pictures strung on ribbon.
The idea to put down black tape as train tracks leading to the house is courtesy of Pinterest. They make duct tape in a bunch of colors! Perfect.
My son got a kick out of it and really, it was a manageable, affordable effort. I did the poster board trains one night, the birthday banner over a couple days, cake the night before, and set up the train tracks the day of. Hope you enjoyed!
