Easy Dinosaur Cake
We made this Dinosaur Cake for my youngest who turned 4 this past week. It's a super easy cake to make using things that we had on hand.
Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 1 cake mix
- frosting
- green food coloring
- 3 graham crackers
- green sprinkles
- 2 large edible eyes
- 2 chocolate chips
- 2 marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat your over as directed on your cake mix. Pour your cake mix into 2 round cake pans and 2 cupcakes. Bake according to directions.
- Cut the bottom of one cooled round cake in a straight line on the sides leaving a half circle in the middle. Take your cake and place it on the other round cake facing up. Then cut around the outline on the top of the other cake to match things up. Place them on a platter. Cut out 2 sections from the bottom to fit your 2 cupcakes. Cut out a tail from the scraps.
- Make frosting (or use store bought) and add a few drop of green food coloring. Cut graham crackers in half and then added a toothpick on the back securing with a little cookie icing. Let that dry and then spread some of the frosting on the front. Dip the frosted graham crackers in green sprinkles.
- Frost the cake. Press in the frosted graham crackers around the top of the head. Cut marshmallows in half for the horns. Press on edible eyes and use chocolate chips for the nose.
