Every year, about this time, I start to think about our own family Christmas cake, and how I’m going to decorate it. Well this year, we’ve been crazy about Professor Layton and Howl’s Moving Castle , so I thought a steampunk theme might be fun. And what do you know, Cake Wrecks’ Sunday Sweet yesterday was Steampunk wedding cakes, so this morning I’ve been doing a little Googling (I know, I should be baking) and came up with a plan for Santa’s most extraordinary Steampunk Sled – in cake.
I’ll take some pics as I go, and keep you posted on the progress, but for now here’s some of the inspiration behind it:
From The SteamPunk Workshop:
From his blog, by Geek of All Trades:
From another SteamPunk blog:
These are all from an absolutely fantastic model train site by a guy called Chris Walas (I know, but just take a look):
And finally a beautiful Christmas card design from Jennifer Koopman, a talented Canadian designer who sells on Etsy, where you can buy your own copy:

Happy Caking, and remember to check back for updates
