Coolest Dragon Birthday Cake 39

Homemade Dragon Birthday Cake
This Dragon Birthday Cake was for my son's first birthday, he's not into much yet, so Mommy got to pick the theme! So, yeah, I used store-bought cake mix and frosting. But I added some vanilla and cinnamon and it tasted great!
The dragon and tendrils were made a week before so they could dry. The dragon is made with half gum paste and half fondant. I just sculpted him free hand and smoothed out the cracks with water. He's got a smattering of pearlized green on his back, too. His little smoke tendrils are fondant worms I rolled around a toothpick to dry.
The blocks in the castle walls are rolled fondant that I marbled with black food coloring, in a couple phases, the day of. The door is, unfortunately, not edible. It's plastic. I guess that counts as a cheating in somebody's book. Not mine.
It was about a 6 hour job, and totally worth it!
