Cool Homemade Carved Green Dragon Cake

I made this Dragon Cake for my son’s 4th birthday, and it got rave reviews! After all the work, it was sad to have to carve him up, but he was sooo yummy!

For this dragon cake, I started by baking a chocolate bundt. After it had cooled, I stuck it in the freezer to make it easier to carve. When it was reasonably stiff, I cut it in half, then cut one of the halves in half. The largest piece is the body, the two smaller pieces are the head and tail.

I glued the pieces down onto the tray with frosting, and secured them together with bamboo skewers. I carved the tail down to a point, and rounded the edges off the head piece. Next I glued mini donut halves onto the head for the eyes and secured two more donuts onto the front of the head for the snout. Then I frosted the whole thing with home-made chocolate frosting and smoothed it out with a knife dipped in warm water.

When the frosting was dry, I sprayed it with green food paint. When that was dry, I added M&Ms for eyes and nostrils and piped on the scales with green sparkly food gel; stuck sprinkles on for the teeth and pupils, and used fruit roll ups for the fire and wings, which are built with bamboo skewers and toothpicks.
