Kraft Kitchens Tips

Fun Idea

Let the party goers help decorate this colourful birthday cake. Give each child a few strawberries, cookies and candies to place on the cake. But make sure to have them wash their hands first!

Note:

If you do not have a large enough platter for the train, use a large cutting board wrapped in foil.

" My 2 year old son loved this cake! I made my own pound cakes at home, and used a store bought icing, but followed the decoration ideas. A terrific inspiration!"
