How to make a dinosaur birthday cake
Assembling the dinosaur cake
1. On the first cake layer, cut a slice off of one side. Then in the middle of the flat side of the cake layer, cut a U-shaped piece out to create the dinosaurs belly and legs. Place the layer on a serving platter.
2. Using paper templates, cut a head and tail out of the second cake layer (cut the dome off the top first so its flat). Place head and tail on the serving platter, joining the pieces to the dinosaurs body. Glue the cake to the platter by placing some frosting underneath each piece of cake. Crumb coat the entire cake with a thin layer of green frosting.
3. Freeze the cake for 30 minutes.
Decorate the dinosaur cake
1. Frost the entire cake with another layer of green frosting. Smooth frosting on sides of cake using an offset spatula. Smooth the top of the cake, working from the outside to the middle. Have hot water on hand to clean the spatula as you are smoothing frosting. Dry spatula each time you clean it before continuing to frost the cake.
2. Place flat chocolate disks on the cake to make spots on the dinosaur.
3. Use smaller chocolate candies for eyes and toes.
4. Use pointy candies across the top to create spikes along the dinosaurs head, back and tail.
5. Using white frosting in a pastry bag, make white dots in the center of each chocolate eye.
6. Using white frosting in a pastry bag, draw on a smile. Or, for a scary dino, make teeth by holding the pastry bag in place, squeezing to form a dot and then pulling up to create a point.

How old were you
My 7 year old daughter is obsessed with watching cake baking tips. Thank you for such a great tutorial. She had no clue what a crumb coating was (neither did I). We actually watch it to learn, not criticize like other people who obviously have lost their ability to realize not everyone has been watching RUclips videos on cake making all their lives. My daughter is planning a surprise birthday party for her baby cousin and is making this cake. Thank you!
I was too😅
I made this cake today for my son's 4th birthday tomorrow. I made a larger version by using an 11x15 pan and enlarging the templates accordingly. It turned out great. I should have purchased or made more icing, but it still looked great. Thanks for the video instructions.
Glad you gave it a whirl! Sounds like your kiddos loved it too...gotta love it!
Does anyone else just watch her for fun instead of baking? ; P
Ta
Ya
U know why bc we r kids duh :3
I watched it when I was young and finally found it again
I really think she should open her own bakery. She makes the best cakes!
I watched this when I was 11.... I'm 20......
26 now lol
My dad's birthday was this April and every since he was a little kid he always loved dinosaurs. After my youngest sister and I saw this tutorial for this cake, we need EXACTLY what we wanted to do for our dad's birthday surprise. So we made this cake (using some different candies and blue frosting), and surprised with it. It made me smile and cry knowing that we worked hard just make him this awesome cake. Thank for this tutorital. It really made our dad's birthday :)
I watched this when I was 4 now I'm 13 bc I was watching baking and vids and remembered this account😭 memories 😭

Finally Someone Who Know What A Spatula Is , Everyone Thinks A Spatula Is A Fish Slice.
O AND THIS IS GOREOUS
Ok, my grandson turning 4, wanted a chocolate dinosaur cake. I saw your video and gave it a go... it turned out so cute. I wish i knew how to share pictures on this site. Thank you for making it easy and fun for me to give my baby what he asked for!❤
Broooo I remember begging my mom to make me this when I was 5 and she actually made it... simpler times man 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
My volume's in max and that woman wearing purple just startled me at 4:25. I can see how excited she was when she opened that egg. lolol
These videos get me excited to be a suburban mom with a mini van
It turned out amazing and everyone loved it! :) It's a totally foolproof cake, it was the first one I've ever attempted too!
I literally watched this when I was 5 like all the the time because I loved to bake now it brings back the memories
very cute cake ^.^
and I for one found the crumb coat tip /helpful/ unlike /some/ of you people who feel like people should just be born with the knowledge of how to avoid cake crumbs or something.
also, if you don't like 1/4 inch of frosting, put less. If you don't like that candy amount, put less or how about, just not eat it all. You know, you don't /have/ to eat something just because it's placed on a cake you don't eat the candles do you.
Last year I did the train cake I learned from this site. This year I may do this dinosaur one for my son's b day . He's obsessed with dinosaurs & Land Before Time.
defo making this cake for my daughters birthday in pink!
Very cute! I really like this version of a dinosaur cake. Thanks for the tips.

But I don't have any kids so I'm going to note your website name or download your all videos and when I have a kid or some kids I hope I will cook and decorate for them especially for their birthday or special days I would not want the kids to consume artificial foods Imean food coloring etc. but sometimes for special events or days we can use them can't we :)

I watched this when I was 9 or 10 and now I’m 23! Siri suddenly suggested me to this 🥲 all the memories… I even made the guitar cake when I was 10
this gotta be my favorite video when i was kid
this is your best cake yet, i really like the cute roundness of this particular cake :D may i suggest a hamburger cake, or something to do with the 70's era?
thanks for sharing this idea... this is great!
you got served!
very cute, it looks like the one you buy at the store
Glad that I see it !! Keep up the good work dear
@ChalotteHarzelink they use betty crocker icing from a tub. you can make icing with icing sugar, butter or milk or both and some flavouring and colour.
So is this lady betty Crocker ? Like the real Betty crocker ??
ahhh yay i needed this for my friend's 16th birthday! haha thanks you are amazing!:P
You could use the betty crocker frosting, which comes in chocolate fudge and vanilla, there really yummy :) or you could use stablised whipped cream? Or just whipped cream? or chocolate ganash?
I used to watch this all the time back in 2012 on my ipad good times good tomes
Aww! That will be awesome! Let us know how it turns out!;)
I love it so much better than my Chanel
awesome dinosaur, i attempted to make this one day and i didn't use betty crocker icing. i used the sugar-powder one that you mix in with food colouring. the dinosaur failed, note to self: always use betty crocker icing :P
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing that with us! ;)
laurie changes the subject coz shes jelous how liv bakes cakes so good.
:) 4:18
Cool guitar and dinosaur cake
I made it for my son's bd party and I thank you for a lovely idea. The only problem I had is that I could not freeze it because my freezer is too small or the cake was too big for it ;-) so I had a bit if a problem with tbe crumbs. But it still came out lovely :-) thank you and I hope you show us some more ideas
you are soooo lucky il start doing this
Hi TheTina68,

My god people it's her job to ask what a crumb coat is. This is a help video's for people wanting to make the cakes. Not everyone watches everyone of these video's.
I can't helped but being impressed. In Denmark we don't have this kind of frosting/icing, we just use confectionar sugar mixed with water, that is what we normally call icing.
I actually wish to become a danish baker who makes non danish cakes (since ours are so boring) so therefor these movies really gives me some good ideas :D
But how does frosting/icing taste like? :)
Maybe you can ask someone if they can bake it for you or maybe you can ask if they will Join you in baking together. If not, then maybe you can give it a whirl yourself. It is your birthday and it is what you want, you should have it. You may even surprise yourself over how great it can turn out! Let u know. ) Happy Birthday!
that is awesome you should try making rainbow cupcakes
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO LEAVE THE SAME COMMENT!! AMEN.
Hi euphguard,
If you click on (more info) in the video description to the right you will see a link that will download the template. Have fun!

@hsmlover2101 U could use ANY time of cake. I was at bed bath and beyond and saw an offset spatula! U could also get them at cooking stores that also sells zesters and other sorts of cooking utensils! Hope this helps!
Yup! That is the cool part! ;)
i loved it
@CountessBatula
Do you chill the cake before you put on frosting?
Because if the cake is even a little bit warm the frosting could melt and get runny. If that's the problem, put in the fridge until it's a bit cold.
But if you are using a lot of liquid coloring, then you should look for some gel food coloring, it's much better for cakes, because it doesn't ruin the consistency.
your awsome with cakes
Please can you share the link for your frosting recipe- we shall be making this for my son’s 2nd birthday in a couple of weeks! Love the video and love the way you’ve done this- thank you 😀
