This cake was so much fun for me. My son is obsessed with Tyrannosaurus Rex. So, that was his choice for his 6th birthday cake this year. I was inspired by a picture that someone pinned on Pinterest. I started with rice crispies for the T-Rex. I then made green modeling chocolate using the Jessicakes recipe from Craftsy. I love the modeling chocolate because it was very easy to work with. I used it to mold the eyes and nostrils. Then, I used gold luster dust with brown food coloring to paint the T-Rex. I was just going to use the leaf tip with green buttercream to decorate the cake. When I was done, it was really missing some color and looked a little bland. So, I woke up and made some fondant leaves and my son told me I had to put a happy birthday banner on the cake. In the end, I really loved the way the cake turned out and both my boys love it!!
