Hooray, there's a baking thread! Hopefully you don't mind if I share this rather derpy looking dinosaur cake that I made for my boyfriend's nephew's birthday. He was over the moon with it, apparently. I'm not 100% happy with how it turned out but I don't think it's bad for my first attempt at something like this...



Only the body is cake, the legs/head/neck/tail are solid fondant. I had thought there'd be enough cake left over from trimming the body to make legs etc, but there wasn't. The rocks and leaves for the nest are fondant too and the eggs are chocolate mini eggs. A surprisingly large amount of the time making it was spent on arguing about whether dinosaurs made nests and if so what the nests might look like...
