How to Make a Dinosaur Cake:
Step 1:
Bake your cake into 2 – 9 inch round pans according to the box instructions.
Step 2:
Cool your cakes and remove them from the pans.
Step 3:
Cut your cakes according to the instructions in our video tutorial.
Step 4:
Assemble them to look like a stegosaurus. Use the Instructions in the video tutorial in order to properly assemble your cake.
Step 5:
Ice your cake. You can use any colour icing you would like. We went with orange. I placed strips of wax around the dinosaur cake so that if some icing drops onto the cake board while icing it is easily taken away when you slide out the wax paper.
Step 6:
Decorate your cake to resemble a Stegosaurus. We added candy eyes and created a smile with blue food colouring for the mouth. We also used chocolate chips to create some of the spots. The chocolate wafers came in handy to create texture and brown smarties worked very well as the dinosaur’s toenails. The spikes on the bake to make the stegosaurus are Hersey’s kisses.
Step 7:
Serve and enjoy!
We love creating customized cakes with simple ingredients. It saves us time and money without having to compromise on flavor. You still get that WOW factor when you serve this Easy Stegosaurus Dinosaur Cake because it looks fabulous.
