My son asked me to make his birthday cake for the first time ever this year. Ignoring my perfectionist tendencies, I agreed, hoping that I would be able to make something that resembled a dinosaur that he would actually enjoy. I found this recipe online and it was pretty easy for the most part.
I just baked the two cakes,
cut it following the directions, then "crumb coated" the cake to seal in the crumbs before frosting. The crumb coat was a great tip from the recipe & really helped make the cake look better in the end. Yes, the dinosaur was whimsical, but the birthday boy loved it!
I used candy melts, m&m's, and a tiny bit of white frosting for the eyes and mouth. As worried as I was, it was worth every minute when the birthday boy was so happy when he saw the cake!
Have you made your child's birthday cakes? What have you tried?

I love it! I made Rocco's ernie cake using the wilton pan, which made it simple. I only had do the icing, which was time consuming mixing all the colors. Even though I bought the wilton's dye kit with all the colors. It was awesome though! And, didn't take me nearly as long as I thought it would. I'll send you a pic, although you may have seen it already.
