when I was asked to make a for my nephew’s birthday party, I said sure. I’ve made a 3D for my son’s birthday so it was going to be a piece of cake 🍰! As it is me, I had to step it up a notch. Hubby found this mask in where when you move his jaw it ROOOAAAARRRSSSS! How cool would it be if when you moved the cakes mouth it roared at you?
so we got to work removing the inside bit of the mask (so birthday boy could use it later), baked a cake and iced it to fit behind the mask. To get the wrinkly effect of the dinosaur’s skin, a crafted rice crispy mix around the cake and mask then covered it all in white fondant. There were uneven dents and it looked great. Now it just needed painting.
the painting took a while and it was a very late night but we got there in the end! Oh the eyes were painted ping pong balls done by hubby - so lifelike.
