For Lorraine’s birthday the tradition continued in choosing a cake from the 50 easy party cakes book. I had 3 cakes on all due for the same day so it had to be as straight forward as the book allows yet still fab!
There are so many amazing cakes in this book by Debbie Brown. We have made mini monster cakes, a shopping bags cake, a ladybird, clown’s face, a bookworm cake and a flower power cake. There are still so many to do.
The dinosaur cake in the book is blue with yellow spots, but I chose to go with purple. When doing cakes for friends for fun you can have a look what you have already in the cupboard and incorporate it into the design, simply changing a colour or adding sparkles or silver balls.
The dinosaur cake was made by baking 1 cake in a pyrex bowl, covering it in icing. The head, tail and legs get added afterwards, with the head being placed on a dowel for support which is then inserted into the main body of the dinosaur to make sure it stays in place.
He looked fab travelling in the box with his head poking out and when it was time to cut the cake he was placed on display in the kitchen, just a neck and head 😦 !
I love this cake XX
My awesome dino cake, his head is now popping out of the milk jug, he was so cool x x and very yummy x x
