Usually the most interesting cake toppers are not bought from the retail store, they are handmade by skilled and creative craftsman. Right here, the train cake topper is designed and made by Melanie. Actually, this is a cake topper asked by her coworkers. They had tickets to ride on a train, so she wanted the cake to reflect that.
The first idea coming out is The Little Engine That Could. And then the second is Thomas the Tank Engine. But she has to give up the two idea, since both of them won’t work for a grown man who wants a grown-up train. Finally she decided to hand-cut the train out of black fondant and just stuck it on the side of the cake with a little water. 
For the cake topper, she made one of those old-fashioned wooden train whistles out of marbleized brown fondant and a yellow banner that read "Happy Birthday."
Phew, you know making a train cake topper for a man is really not easy. It should be masculine, handsome, and not childish or girlish, that turn to be a great challenge. But take a look at above images, it look nice. right?
