Somebodys Turning 3!

Last week it was the birthday of one of our favourite 3 years olds and what better cake than a catroon dinosaur :) This blog is a bit more in-depth as we managed to take quite a few photos so feel free to just look at the pictures!

The body and head of the dinosaur were created using our spherical tins (these are becoming a bit of a favourite despite the long cooking times involved) which Rob then ingeniously carved into a dinosaur.

A few small holes later and we had room for the fillings:

We added a tail to the rear of the body and covered the whole thing in buttercream ready for the sugarpaste covering. The sugarpaste covering the body was seamlessly smoothed into the tail to make it seem like one continuous piece and then we added the smaller details like legs and nostrils.

A few final touches such as spines, spots and skulls rounded the dinosaur off and he was ready for the party!

Unfortunately it seems the reason for the dinosaurs extinction is their in-ability to run away when the birthday boy threatens them with a knife!

Now just to plan his 4th birthday :)
