Homemade Dinosaur Cake

This is the third time I've made a dinosaur cake like this, and is my best yet. I used the Wilton doll cake tin and made a couple of muffins at same time. I used the muffins to make the head and tail.

Cut one muffin with a straight edged round cutter and turn it on its side for the head. Use the left over rounds to make the neck. Cut the other muffin to make a tail. Cover cake and stick all bits together with butter crean. Then cover with fondant icing.

Using modeling tools, or knife and little finger, cut shape for mouth and make a hole for eyes either side. Fill eyes with white fondant ball and then a bit of black. Cut chocolate buttons in half to put across cake to make the spines.

In past I have also done spots using smarties. Mold left over green fondant and shape for legs. Use modelling tool or cocktail stick to do nails.
