Dino Cake!

I am a really really organised, and slight perfectionist, so for Tyler's birthday I have decided I want to do a Dinosaur Cake!! As we are thinking that's what the theme will be! So I have already started to practice making the cake!!

I'll put the link at the bottom of the page of where I found the cake shape etc.

For the cake I use a chocolate sponge the ingredients and recipe are;

1 and 1/2 of "all purpose flour" I used Self raising Flour.
3 tablespoons of unsweetened coco powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup of sugar
2 teaspoons of vanilla essence
3/4 cups of milk
3/4 cups of butter
2 eggs

Preheat the oven to 350 deg F (gas mark 4 or 180 deg C)
Grease a 9 inch 23cm tin ( i manage to split the mixture into 2 cake tins)
Mix the flour, coco powder, baking powder, sugar and vanilla essence into a bowl
Melt the butter at low heat and add to the other ingredients. Then add milk and eggs.
Mix everything together until smooth
The pop in the oven for about 30minutes or until a knife comes out clean, when pocked in the middle of the cake.


After that I then make the dinosaur. click here

Here are my pictures.






Then get creative!
