This Dragon Birthday Cake came from pure imagination. My son wanted a a blue dragon for his five year birthday party. My sister and I got to work on creating a fantastical dragon cake. We basically just cooked cake mix in a various sized bowls/pans that seemed to suit body shapes and started cutting and piecing together using royal icing as glue.
It really was like a sculpture and looked really terrible before icing, it was just a lot of crazy mounds! But it worked. Once we iced it with buttercream icing we cut a whole bunch of gum drop slivers to use as “scales” on his body. This was super time consuming, if you have kitchen sheers they are the best to achieve this affect with gum drops.
We dyed fondant and shaped his spine scales, eyes, teeth, horns, claws, etc. I made his “wings” out of wire and tissue paper.
The cake was a hit and we had so much fun making it. Especially because we had absolutely no idea how it was going to turn out!

Yes! We actually got it on a site! Haha! This cake turned out awesome. Took a lot of time! Lots of left over scraps from trying to sculpt it. I know we were very tired! It was worth it when my sister’s son got to see it though!
