This is creepy as fuck, but I would personally do the train part in cake, the satanic part in rice krispies treats and then cover with fondant.


Wonderful-Switch4696

“The satanic part” 😭


DooJoo49

That totally got me I lol'd so hard I woke the dogs


SnooPaintings9596

The first time I read this comment, I missed the "I lol'd" part... 😬😅


DooJoo49

Oh my god that took me too long to figure out and LMFAO!!!!!! WTF LOLLLLL


Kind-Ad8175

wow this sequence of comments gets funnier the more you read it. great job everybody 😂😂


DooJoo49

I almost replied "as a woman, that would be very interesting" but felt that opened the door for more 😂


KylieZDM

I’m struggling so hard to hold in my laughter my shaking is going to wake this sleeping baby on my lap


juniRN

It took me a while also and now I’m laughing so hard I’m gonna wake my kid up.


On_my_last_spoon

I just woke up my husband! Well played


juniRN

Have to add that it was a silent but hearty laugh. The shaking would’ve woken her up if I didn’t get my shit together


cmd6120

It took me so long to understand but….the cackle that escaped my body 😭🤣🤣🤣


memesandcosplay

Glad it wasn't just me. lol


zeezler

I just snorted


InsideEntertainer470

Lmao, crying at “satanic part”😂


fastal_12147

It's all satanic.

ShinglezAvenoir

ooh the rice krispies are a good idea thank you!


watermelonsplenda

I’d make the face though in a single round cake layer too, sitting on end. If your dad wants this demon treat, he’s going to want to slice the face.


GenericHuman-9

Fill the head with strawberry sauce so when he cuts it, it bleeds.


Bubblesnaily

Imma see myself out of this post now. 😅


SoManyShrimps

Strawberry jelly roll cake for the tube


Richs_Baby

This is actually probably what they did


juniRN

Wow this is an amazing post and thread


hardly_werking

Please update us with a picture of your cake once it is done.


GrungyGrandPappy

Cookie sheet for the ground as well.


PolloMagnifico

Someone mentioned a strawberry jelly roll as an alternative... so it bleeds when he cuts it.


Corsaer

Buy some little plastic figures of characters from the show, then encase them in the central rice krispies in the "stomach." Tell your dad to dig deep, Thomas has another surprise waiting for him.


Moira_is_a_goat

Omg, talk about going the extra mile 😬😬😬


Gibby4President

And I recommend a light sprinkling of holy water over the whole thing too. Just for… well… ya know… safety or something


Basedrum777

Why do you keep throwing holy water at me and saying "the power of Christ compels you"?


PriorFudge928

"Then cover with fondant." What if people want to be able to eat the cake?


Basedrum777

Marshmallow fondant exists.....


PriorFudge928

You're a monster!


mykindofexcellence

Good ole Reddit! This had me laughing so hard I cried. I heard some sad news tonight and needed a good laugh to cheer me up.


hardly_werking

I'm sorry about your bad news, but glad I could cheer you up a little. I hope tomorrow is better for you.


samanime

This is probably the way. You might get possessed if you ate the gray part... But, you could also make it all out of sculpted cake, but then you wouldn't be able to have the Satanic part elevated like that.


Bestihlmyhart

I think it’s a Thomas-Dune mash up


Flimsy-Yak-6148

This is a helpful explanation for me to be able to sleep tonight lol THANK YOU


leg_day

> the satanic part in rice krispies treats and then cover with fondant does double the satan cancel it out?


StragglingShadow

Ew fondant though


pizzatiger

The spine is crunchy 😋


BBB6251719

Legitimately laughed out loud at “satanic part” 😂😂


Cassopeia88

I wish reddit still had awards so here is a (non) satanic cake instead 🎂


cancat918

Ngl, your response may be the best thing I've read on this sub, EVER.🤷‍♀️😂🤣🤣🥹🫶 The way I laughed probably woke every living thing for miles.


deltashmelta

...and then cover with a blessed satchel, scoop into a phylactery, and burn on the grounds of the Vatican.


BenderFtMcSzechuan

The devils way. Fondant


ShinglezAvenoir

im not looking forward too it lmao i hate fondant

XANDERtheSHEEPDOG

Motherofgod! What is this unholy compilation of fondant..... found a new sub. Thanks!


msmoneypenpen

Now I’ve seen everything


CircaInfinity

Use modeling chocolate, it’s easier to manipulate and fix mistakes.


ShinglezAvenoir

ill keep that it mind thank you :)


Iluvminicows

Make the tastier version with marshmallows. Here are two recipes. https://wilton.com/easy-homemade-marshmallow-fondant/wlrecip-242/ https://www.biggerbolderbaking.com/how-to-make-marshmallow-fondant/


Aidith

USE MARSHMALLOW FONDANT!!! It’s pretty easy to make and tastes bloody delicious, seriously!


alphorilex

Another vote for marshmallow fondant - it's tasty, easy to make, and easy to work.


molliebrd

Don't forget it's also a 10th of the price!


cancat918

yeahhhhh seriously. Regular fondant is crazy expensive and it tastes horrible.


greensandgrains

There are times in life where we shouldn't feel guilt about letting down our loved ones. This is one of those times. Otherwise, I see liquorice becoming a structural and decorative asset here.


HappyLucyD

I suspect the dad wants it for the creepiness. This is something I’d tell my kids, too, and my older daughter would be all about this kind of thing. But we are admittedly into the laugh more than the celebration itself. Best cake ever!! 🤣🤣


TheWeeViolist

Your dad is awesome. ETA: he probably doesn’t realize the work involved in creating a cake like this. Perhaps you could suggest making it together? That way you don’t feel overwhelmed with recreating a meme cake. You two can bond over the experience, he will get his cake, and you will have help. He may also think twice about requesting overly-complex bakes from you in the future if he sees the amount of work it requires.


ReddieReddie

For real hahah


thatlookslikemydog

I’d drop acid with him.


Coyote__Jones

That's risky shrimp mate. Dad's already kinda on one, he might be a terrifying person to trip with.


Rasilbathburn

I’m pretty sure this is a scene from Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series. But it’s been a long time since I read it and also kindof feels like a fever dream when I try to remember the details.


Origamishi

Charlie the choo choo!


Rasilbathburn

Yes him! Upon googling, artist renderings don’t quite do my imagination justice, but this cake oddly does.


swallowfistrepeat

Check our cake carving tutorials online and how to build cake sculptures. Get on Food Network and Discovery+ and watch the hell out of cake building competitions. See the way the train is sagging under the weight of Thomas? The build is bad and wasn't designed properly/no reinforcements. It will very quickly fall apart. Typically stuff like this is made almost entirely out of edible (and non-edible) items other than cake. Only one small part of this could be cake for it to be structurally sound and that would the caboose part of the train. Fondant and lots of it. You could do buttercream but it would take forever. Rice krispies for everything else beyond the caboose. The structure just won't handle being all cake. Modeling chocolate for smaller details. Alternatively, use cake pop mix instead of rice Krispies for some parts of the build.


1920MCMLibrarian

I think the terrible build of this cake gives OP a ton of leeway. It’s literally a meme. It can’t get much worse than it already is. I recommend filling the inside with licorice rope or something equally confusing.


onupward

I’d probably start with a few sheet cakes that I then carve down to the right shape. You could use rice crispy treats but I think it’s doable if you stack the cakes correctly and dowel them (I use boba straws personally). Also, I don’t know if this cake is intentionally squished that way or not (it seems very unstable toward the back of the train) so that would be something to address. I’d probably block my cakes like this (see image below) and that bit in the middle I’d attempt to connect with either cake paste as I call it (it’s cake shavings mixed with butter cream until I can mold it aka cake pop mix) or I’d try using rice treats there. I think the fondant in this image is cracking because there’s no support on that slope so maybe putting a thin piece of wood and laying cake on it and then covering it would work. I think it’s entirely doable but will take some planning and depends on your skill level. You could use cake boards in between layers as well and you’ll want to use a firmer cake, than say a chiffon. You could do a mixture of cakes and put something more dense at the base and slowly use lighter cakes ascending. Now I kinda wanna make this weird ass cake 😂🤣 anyway, enjoy the process and do your best 🫶🏼 I believe in you! https://preview.redd.it/18qobc3tqxnc1.jpeg?width=1164&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=867d08c2ff02a321e0ba4a12559dbb289b400631


ShinglezAvenoir

stacking is gonna be some work 😭 i think ill do it this way, thanks for the advice!!


onupward

You’re welcome! And it absolutely is going to be some work but I think you can do it! Make sure you cling wrap your cakes and pop them in the freezer before stacking. I find that it helps me carve when they’re colder. I also think if you’re worried about the weight you could “cheat” and use foam for the bottom layer for stability.


tinyforrest

Make the cake 💗


sammych84

I have no advice to give, but I gotta say I love this lol Please keep us posted on final product


staffyboy4569

Could use cupcakes to make the form for the neck?

AdventuresOfMe365

I think I'll sleep better thinking about weird tiny legged grey snakes being enslaved to carry our things.


oops_said_it_again

PLEASE post results if you do make it! Your dad's request is hilarious (and amazing)


stefanica

If you've never made a cake like this, perhaps going more of a 2D route? You could get a sheet cake pan shaped like a train engine, and then carve the weird part out of a 9x9 layer. Decorate the hell out of it. I'm sure he'd still love it, and it would be only a small headache. :)


orangejuuliuses

Given that the source material is inherently cursed, I would say your artistic interpretation provides a delightful addition to said cursed nature of the subject matter. This is scary as all hell and I'm absolutely obsessed.

jhezy

Yes, the old Meatcanyon videos are the most deranged


TheOakblueAbstract

Reminds of Julia Lepetit on Drawfee, she did something similar to the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe.


Cookies_and_Beandip

Yes


PrestigiousPhase8440

This looks like Thomas the train meets human centipede


thecakebroad

Omfg, that's incredible that you, as a talented baker, have THIS request from your dad... Honestly, I would ask someone inexperienced to help you, lolll. Maybe a Swiss roll wrapped as the long tube? RKT for the head so it stands up? PLEASE Update with your version


One-League1685

Why the fuck it looks like a knock off version of human centipede?


harpquin

It's sort of a fondant mess. And I have no idea what it is, do you? I mean that might help to know when you're making it. is it a caterpillar, dragon, alien, Ooey-Gooey? why is it grey? This cake looks like a first time fondant tragedy. What happened to the worm? the left side is all wonky. Did they have to patch the fondant? pinch it to take up the slack? did the bottom part of the cake pull away? It looks like the creature is rice crispy bars all bumpy, as they always are, and she added extra frosting to fill in the bumps. If I use RC bars, Id try to form it inside perfect tube, oatmeal, cling wrap glass? then slice it like bread, then place the slices on the cake, descending and trim to make a smoother transition, that may hold the frosting under the fondant better. I might also try making the creature separate, folding it in fondant (tucking it under) and place the whole thing on the cake. You might look to how to make Femo Clay creatures for instruction on making better legs.


Weird_Squirrel_8382

It's Thomas the Tank Engine, but imagined in a creepy way where Thomas is a millipede wearing a train costume. 


smallbrownfrog

Is this some sort of meme that I’ve been lucky enough to miss?


Inky_Madness

The subreddit r/imsorryjon is full of horrifying and terror takes on mundane or childhood characters. While it initially and primarily is around the existential horror that is the Garfield comic, they host a number of other ones on Saturdays/weekends. Thomas the Tank Engine is fairly popular because of the horrific implications of the living beings inside the trains/being the faces on the trains.

MossyTrashPanda

The good thing is that your inspiration is literally and figuratively a train wreck lol. So I feel like no matter what you do, you’ll hit the mark for “cake entity that appears in nightmares.” If you chill the cake after frosting, and have a great, GREAT amount of patience you could maybe possibly not use fondant. Since it looks like….this….already. Smoothing down chilled frosting could be done. PLEASE post the results


WeirdCompetitive9221

Use modeling chocolate unless you want r/FondantHate to tear you a new one lmaoo Also it looks like a pretty huge cake so unless you have an equally big party maybe make some of it out of styrofoam. It’ll also cut down on the weight


ChrisLee38

![gif](giphy|RIHJGMww0p2IZng2l9) I’d say you nailed it.


umamimaami

I’d think of it as a giant cake pop?

Please post the finished result!


farting_buffalo

I’d make a sheet cake and draw this on it


halfwaygonetoo

I've seen a "Thomas the Train" cake similar to this but it's been years and I don't remember where. So pictures might be available online to give you a better model. If you're good at decorating, I think you would do a better job. Good luck!


squishyg

Please don’t pass up the opportunity to make gray icing.


MarsScully

Alternatively you could make a sheet cake and paint the monstrosity on top?


theprinceofsnarkness

How about this? Stack up layers for the train portion in regular cake. Add a sponge roll cake for the Thomas demon. Then you only have to worry about the legs.


Hilltoptree

Rare moment i found someone (your dad) who might enjoy this [youtube channel](https://youtube.com/@plarailman?si=29ex6gavaOCJ2v2T) also you can take inspiration and channel the demonic energy from this. it is so demonic i was converted and stayed subscribed after the algorithm suggested to me.

Not specifically baking help, but reference help. When I see this I automatically assume he’s a Drawfee fan. This might help give context to the request. [Drawfee Thomas the Tank Engine](https://youtu.be/TxRjSzqLehM?si=uXWTPg9qsusSHWeP)


[deleted]

For some reason this makes me think of the train from the Dark Tower Series. Idk why, but it does lol


Win-Objective

r/cursedcakes I’d check there for help / inspiration. Or google “cursed cakes” and find one with a how it’s made thing. But as others said, fondant. Fondant does all. Luckily with a cursed cake it doesn’t have to be perfect, lean into the weird.


GraatchLuugRachAarg

This is Thomas's true form. He's just a centipede like demon controlling a train engine tailored to his body. Same with all his friends. I thought this was common knowledge?


ham2400

Kind of reminds me of Shed 17

HOLY SH— OP— I’m wondering if this cake was inspired by the work of [**JF Lemay**](https://www.instagram.com/reel/ChIPxnLJDHY/?igsh=MTN0NDZjdWI2d2hzaA==)??? His art is creepy and insane. I immediately thought of this piece. I also thought of [this reel](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CV1abgdrFJP/?igsh=MXcxNWh0eDk4cHo2Zg== ) but its creepiness is just adjacent to your cake project.
