https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/dino-cake-3 • Posted by Amy W.
This is my version of a cake I found on another website. While baking the cake is rather simple, figuring out the placement of the dino's arms and legs and head and what goes where was a little tricky. Icing it is a bit time consuming considering that I had to do two layers of icing, a crumb coat and the final coat. This is a rather fun project to do after you get the difficult parts out of the way. Oh and the head tends to get a little heavy especially if you use fondant on it. I would recommend putting some type of support under it. We rolled up a ball of red fondant to place under the dino's chin too look like he was resting his head on a ball(not pictured.) I got the idea and how to's from this site:
