I made Harry's Dinosaur cake by baking 2 x 10" round vanilla sponge cakes and cutting them into various dinosaur parts! I used a template from www.instructables.com and put the pieces together with buttercream. I also covered the whole cake with a thin buttercream coating to stop all the crumbs from appearing in the final coating of green buttercream.
I left it to dry overnight and then covered the whole of the dinosaur with green buttercream. I made purple fondant triangles to run along his back like spikes and used jelly beans for claws. I also made his eyes and nostrils from black and white fondant. I used an icing nozzle that makes buttercream look like grass and surrounded the dinosaur with it. I put the dinosaur figures around the board and put a little glitter on them to make them stand out.
The children loved the cake and the last time I saw my very cute fondant dinosaurs they were being eaten by three very happy boys (sob!)
