Hi I'm looking for books or recipes regarding children's birthday cakes.

I want to make a cake for my son's second birthday and need some ideas. One
idea is to make a 'tractor cake' as he's very much into that sort of thing.
However, I need some directions on how to do it.

Many thanks for your help.

Dave

i have the answer! i made a train cake using a swiss roll. I am sure you
could modify one for a tractor.

i used one swiss roll, cut a bit off it and put on a small one for the
funnel. used another bit of swiss roll for a carriage. Then just covered
it all in icing and lollies. if i could do it, anyone can! it was so
popular i had to make it again 2 years later!

Just bake an ordinary cake, ice it, and decorate with miniature John
Deeres... after the cake is long gone he'll have the tractors.
