Dragon Birthday Cake Wish

My husband who is a kid at heart has always wanted a dragon birthday cake so I surprised him with this one. He was so surprised that it made his day.

This cake was made out of two 9 inch round cakes. One was cut in half to make the body and the other was used for the the tail, neck, head and legs.
Once I had the cake laid out the real challenge was frosting it. My husband does not like buttercream frosting so I had to use store-bought whipped frosting.
I had to refrigerate the frosting and the cake for about 40 minutes to be able to add the frosting.
For texture I used the leaf tip to get the scale look, Oreo cookies for the scales on the back, Smarties candy for the eyes and paper wings.
My sons added the fighting figures and flames.
The landscape is brown sugar.

It was a lot of fun and the hit of the party. My advise is to use your imagination and have fun.
