The best gift is a sweet gift, guaranteed by any sweet tooth. What to do when the holiday is on the nose, and you don’t want to treat the baby and guests with purchased cakes? If a child is delighted with dinosaurs and everything connected with them, you can make him an original cake with dinosaurs as a gift. It is quite simple and does not take much time, and your baby and his friends will be in a good mood. Especially if they love dinosaurs too! If your kid loves curly treats, then you can try to make him a gift in the form of a dinosaur. The child will be delighted with such a surprise no less, if not more, than an ordinary cake.

What will it take to create an unusual treat?

• Dinosaur-shaped sponge cake.
• Green food coloring (such as spinach or spinach juice).
• Triangle and round ice molds.
• Delicious custard.
• Round sweets or dragees to decorate the cake.
• Yellow, purple or whatever color you like.
• Whipped cream.
• Prunes (optional).

How to make a Dinosaur cake?

First, you should prepare all the necessary ingredients. We give the cakes the shape of a dinosaur by cutting them with a special pattern. After everything is ready, you can start creating treats. Put the cakes on a table covered with cling film or oilcloth. If there are several cakes, or one cake is cut into several parts, you should smear the junction of the biscuit with cream. Then you need to give the cakes a cheerful green color. To do this, take food coloring and beat it together with buttercream. With the resulting "greenery" gently coat the future cake from all sides. There should be no gaps through which the cake looks out, nor too thick heterogeneous strokes, so as not to create the impression that we are not looking at a cake, but at an oil painting. The product should be spread evenly with a spoon or spatula.

Is everything ready? It's time to move on to decorating the goodies. Now you need jelly, cut into triangles and circles. We spread the triangles on the back, head and tail, evenly, slightly pressing into the biscuit, but not too much so as not to spoil the dish. Circles can decorate the belly of the future dinosaur. It's time for the eyes. With whipped cream, draw two large dots on the muzzle. Press a black dragee or prunes into the middle of each creamy mug. Dinosaur eyes are ready! If you want them to be more expressive and shiny, you can draw another dot with cream already on the black “pupil”.

Finishing touches

Our ancient guest from the past is almost ready, but the final touch is missing. We decorate the body of an edible reptile at our discretion with dragees or other round sweets - here you can show your imagination and call on your imagination to help. Remember that many children's cakes are beautiful and original, while a dinosaur should really amaze and surprise your guests. At the end of all the work, with a pastry spatula, we carefully draw a “smile” of a dinosaur. Or you can lay out the outlines of the mouth with sweets or prunes. The choice is yours. That's all. Our dinosaur cake is ready!

Second treat option

The first version of the holiday treat is very good for a gift and table decoration. But what if there is no way to reproduce such a culinary masterpiece, and you really want to try the original treat? In this case, you can try to make a cake with dinosaurs from mastic. The cake will turn out no less beautiful and unusual, but you don’t have to waste time giving the original shape to the biscuit.

How to make an unusual fondant dinosaur cake?

First you need to decide on the appearance of the product, the peculiarity of the location of parts on it. It is advisable to sketch a sketch on which the details of the future delicacy will be clearly visible. Then you can start cooking treats. Knead the mastic by adding food coloring to it. Afterthe mastic is ready, carefully cover the future cake with dinosaurs with it. To do this, roll it out with a rolling pin, making sure that the diameter of the sweet coating is 2 times the diameter of the cake. In order for the coating to turn out smooth and shiny, it is worth walking over it with an iron several times. Then we carefully pry the resulting mastic with a rolling pin and transfer it to the cake, gently smoothing out all the wrinkles and irregularities. The future delicacy is almost ready, it remains to add the main thing - dinosaurs. To create them, we roll out a ball of mastic of the corresponding color in our hand and sculpt in turn the torso, paws, head of a guest from the past. Modeling from mastic is very similar to the process of creating figures from plasticine. You need to glue the parts on alcohol or water, make sure that they are firmly connected to each other.

Shutting down

After the figures are glued, you need to put them on the future cake with dinosaurs. We put the products on a toothpick, trying to do it carefully and carefully. Then we continue to sculpt the figures to taste and also seat them over the entire surface of the treat. At the end of the work, you can write a congratulation on the cake with a pastry syringe. And you can cut letters out of mastic and put words out of them. In any case, the cake with dinosaurs will turn out to be unusual and very beautiful. You can safely give original cakes - they will make a unique impression on the recipient. A mastic treat with representatives of the ancient animal world and a hand-made Dinosaur cake are an excellent gift idea for a baby of any age.
