Making a Dinosaur Cake

Last weekend my grandson turned 2 years old. I had planned to make him a Magic School Bus Cake. At the last minute he asked for a dinosaur cake. I love making cakes so I jumped right in changed gears and this is what I came up with.
I made a thin cake for the base and lightly frosted it. I spread a layer of brown sugar to look like sand.
I baked two ten inch round cakes and cut the parts from these two cakes.
Then a light layer of butter cream icing to hold the fondant in place. I got so busy with the fondant at this time. I forgot to keep taking photos. I will try next cake to take photos of placing the fondant.
I put the rolled fondant on in three pieces. One for the body, one for the tail and one for the head. The spots and spikes are made from dried fondant.

We all enjoyed Little Bug Birthday. Thank you for stopping by to visit. Have a great week.
