Flat Matthew, the baking trainee

This morning Tom decided to bake a cake to take over to the guys who were working t the Riverside & Great Northern Railway. We decided that this would be a chance for Flat Matthew to get some baking training. Especially since the cake was going to look like a locomotive engine.

This is a picture of Tom holding the cake pan while Flat Matthew gets the box of cake mix out.

Bakers wear a chef's hat, so Flat Matthew put his hat on and helped mix the batter for the cake. Then he had to wait while the cake baked in the oven. After that it had to cool down before Tom and Flat Matthew decorated the train engine with colored sugar and frosting.


Finally the cake was done, and you can see how proud Tom and Flat Matthew are.
