i think i got the hang of this! dinosaur cake

now that i think i’ve got the blogging basics down, i went and dug up another cake project from last year. here is my son’s dinosaur cake (first attempt). i used boxed cake…again! i think it tastes the best. i only had to use one box and made 2 round cake layers. then i cut one round layer in half and stood them up on the cut edge (with a little frosting on the base and in between for “glue”).

next i used my son’s dinosaur toy as a model and began carving the other round layer into dinosaur “parts” (legs, tail, head).

i used a wilton’s star attachment (the one you use for all of those character cakes) and white canned frosting tinted with green food coloring and covered the dinosaur.

for the plates on the back, i used those 100 calorie pack oreos. the spikes on the tail are a korean chocolate covered pretzel-type stick called “peppero” (i bought them at an asian food store). they are also called “pocky”.

final project.
