Second Birthday Train Cake
(Only six months late. Improvement!)

:♥: The base cake is apple butter cake, super-healthy but still tastes pretty good (as opposed to angel food cake, which tastes like eating air @_@). Concentrated apple juice instead of sugar, apple butter instead of filling, cream cheese + berry jam instead of frosting, added wheat germ, etc.
:♥: The train carries a load of mini marshmallows, blackberries, halved chocolate wafer sticks, halved cherries, blueberries and green grapes. I glazed the fruits with melted apple jelly to preserve their appearance.
:♥: The animal passengers are food picks bought from Daiso. They also help the train stay put.
:♥: Train wheels and train tracks are made from snickerdoodle cookies and wafers.
:♥: Leftover candy pebbles and m & ms spell River's name (I threw away the candy after I cut and distributed the cake. One 2.5-y.o. girl looked at me with betrayed eyes =P)
( Kitchen shots and summer fruits )
