Well, I love dinosaurs. I’d be a paleontologist if I’d stayed in school, but I decided to follow my dream and try to get somewhere in writing books. This was simply my own birthday cake. It was a simple idea, really: big chocolate cake, and a royal icing dinosaur skeleton and digging tools. Now, let … Read more
As many soon to be 5 year olds do, dinosaurs become a huge focus of interest. My son is on the Autism Spectrum so his focus has been pretty intense.

I made this 3D Dinosaur cake for my 3 year old nephew. The inspiration came from looking at a lot of cakes online and tweaking the idea until it was what I wanted. This particular cake is a stegosaurus, which is a leaf eater, but he looked a bit cooler with pointy teeth! I used a … Read more
This Dinosaur Scene Birthday Cake Idea was made for my sons’ combination party. They turned 3 and 4. It is a basic Jurassic landscape with river, sand pit, tar pit and volcano.
