I made this Dinosaur Birthday Cake for my nephew’s third birthday using store bought cake mix and butter cream, and fondant. I made 4 sheet cakes, two side by side (the smaller ones you can buy at any $1 store), used a template I cut out of cardboard.
After I got the shape I wanted I glued the two layers together and iced it. After letting it chill, I rolled out some fondant ropes to go around the eyes, nose bridge and jaw, before I wrapped it all with fondant. I used brown and green food coloring to hand paint the body and eyes. The teeth are made of fondant as well.
My nephew went crazy for this cake!
That is the most awesome Dino cake I’ve seen so far! Great Job!!!
MY SON IS A HUGE DINO FAN, HE IS ALSO IN TO BOY SCOUTS AND THIS WEEKEND IS HIS AWARD DINNER AND HIS GROUP IS HAVING A CAKE AUCTION, HE WANTED TO DO A DINO CAKE… HOPE YOU DO NOT MIND BUT HE FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS AND I AM GOING TO DO MY BEST TO NOT LET HIM DOWN WITH HOPES THAT IT LOOKS JUST HALF AS NICE AS YOURS.
I thank you guys so much for loving the cake. I hope that your cake came out good. I left directions how to make this cake for everyone to give it a shot. Thanks again! (P.S. I just realized that i said “glue” the cakes together I meant with icing. Sorry)
