Super Easy Dinosaur Cake

For my son, Donte's dinosaur 3rd birthday we made him a dinosaur birthday cake. Like all of our cake hack recipes, it was super easy to make with a plain sponge and frosting from the supermarket. If you're planning a dinosaur birthday party, a dinos cake is a must-have for your little one's celebration.

These are the simple steps we took to make Donte's Dinosaur cake:

  • Trace a birthday dinosaur image on greaseproof paper.
  • Cut it out, and place it on the sponge.
  • Use a serrated knife to cut the sponge into shape for your dinosaur birthday cake.
  • Frost your dinosaur cake with icing.
  • Add some chocolate drops, brown m & m's, and Maltesers for a dinosaur cake that will be loved by all of your guests.

With these dinosaur party ideas from Katie J Design and Events, you're well on your way to throwing a Dinosaur-themed party that will be remembered for years to come. Don't forget to capture all the special moments and share them with us – we love seeing our party themes in action! Happy dino party planning!
