Wilton Puzzle Cake, Transportation Silicone Puzzle Set

I bought the Wilton Puzzle Cake Transportation Silicone Cupcake Set a couple of years ago. I saw it in the store, and just thought it was super cute and so versatile. I am a great baker, but not a good cake decorator, so I was excited to find something that looked easy enough that I could actually pull off a professional-looking cake for my child's birthday parties. I was not disappointed in the results. The first cake I made was the rocket ship, at my child's request, and it turned out REALLY cute!

I just made the train for my 2 year old's birthday. The directions were easy to follow and the result was fantastic. Kids and adults loved it.

I made the train for my son's birthday. The kids loved it! It was easy to make. The cupcakes slipped right out of the silicone liners. The directions were very clear and easy to read. I am looking forward to making more. I have 5 children so it is nice to know that from now on birthday cakes will only cost me the price of cake mix. I think I will look for a kit to make cakes for my daughters too.
