ChaseKBH had a little bit of adult help on this project, but not much. The above is a picture of ChaseKBH's chocolate Thomas Rocket Ship cake. It's ridiculously adorable - though the cake itself wasn't wonderful, it wasn't terrible either.
We started with Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Chocolate Cake. We adapted to a half recipe, or at least as close to a half recipe as a three year old can measure. Instead of following the directions, we simply put everything into a bowl, and mixed it with a whisk. The cake was baked in a Wilton Rocket Ship Pan, well sprayed with baking spray. It took about 35 minutes to bake at 350F, but I think my oven is a bit off right now. I would start checking at 20 minutes and continue from there.
We frosted the cake with a simple frosting consisting of 6 tablespoons of softened European-style butter, 1/2 a pound of powdered sugar, and about 1/3 of a cup of heavy cream. Everything went into the stand mixer and was whipped until a frosting appeared. We colored the frosting with Wilton Icing Color - in blue. After we "painted" the cake with frosting, we sprinkled on an insane amount of blue sprinkles.
The kid sort of looks like a smurf now.
