Tube Train Cake in progress

I'm currently working on the tube train cake.

I baked 3 x 5" round cakes, then cut a little off. I stood them onto the flat, cut edge, then sandwiched them all together. I marzipanned them then covered them in white sugarpaste, except the two ends, which I covered in red.

I've inserted the windscreens into each end of the train. And I've just done the doors. Now, I have to put the windows in the side of the train. Not looking forward to that.

I'm a bit nervous, because Katie sent me an email... the customer wanted to know 'will it be exactly like the picture?' I replied "Obviously I didn't make the original cake, but I will certainly do my utmost to replicate it as exactly as I can." I can't really say more than that, can I?

Right... better get on with it.

Oh bugger! One thing I didn't do is to make a little indent for the driver to be leaning out of. Hmmmmmm...... What am I going to do?
