Dinosaur Party Cakes -

dinosaur cake ideaDinosaur Cake

I made this dinosaur cake for my son Daniel, who is in love with dinosaurs. I used a simple dinosaur cake pan, green tinted frosting detailed in white, red string licorice mouth, colorful candies for eyes and accents, and unwrapped candy kisses to make scales along dino's back. It was fun and easy!

How to Decorate your Dinosaur Cake or make Dinosaur Cupcakes.

Volcano Cake
Make a bundt cake and frost it in chocolate frosting. Decorate with palm trees and small plastic dinosaurs: Before serving, take a pint of chocolate ice cream and place over the hole in the center of the cake. Pour strawberry syrup over it for volcano lava. Serve and enjoy!
Variation: Frost the cake white and use vanilla ice cream for a different look.

Dinosaur Egg Surprise Cake
Make your favorite cake recipe and cool layers. Frost the bottom layer first then add several jellybeans before adding the top layer. Frost the entire cake. When serving, tell guests to find the dinosaur eggs hidden in the cake.

Label party food for:

Carnivores - Hamburgers, Pteradactyl Wings (chicken wings) or Dino Drumsticks(chicken drummettes)
Herbivores - Assorted cut fruits and veggies with dip

Active Volcano Punch
2 (12 oz.) cans frozen cranberry juice concentrate
1 1/2 c. orange juice
1 1/2 pts. club soda or seltzer
Orange and lemon slices

Freeze orange and lemon slices in ring of water. Thaw cranberry juice concentrate. Combine with orange juice and chill. Add club soda or seltzer just before serving. Add orange and lemon ice ring for garnish. 18 servings.

Here's where the fun starts... place a piece of dry ice in a sealed plastic container. Punch or cut holes in the container lid. Before serving drop the container into the punch bowl. Very cool effect!

Variation: Smoldering Swamp Water - Float the dry ice container in a green beverage such as 7-UP.

Important: Always use caution when handling dry ice! Use tongs or heavy gloves so it does not touch bare skin as burn will result. Do not put the dry ice directly in the punch; it should NOT be ingested.

Dinosaur Jigglers - 24 pieces, serves 4 to 6

stegasaurus

4 sm. pkgs. or 2 lg. packages Jello any flavor
2 1/2 c. boiling water or apple juice


Completely dissolve gelatin in boiling water or juice. Pour into 13 x 9 inch pan. Chill until firm, about 3 hours. To remove, dip pan in warm water about 15 seconds. Cut into dinosaur shapes with cookie cutters. Lift from pan.


Dinosaur Eggs - to be used for Dino Egg Hunt

2 1/2 cups flour
2 1/2 cups dirt
1 cup sand
1 1/2 cups salt
water
small plastic toy dinosaurs

To make the dough, mix all the dry ingredients together. Gradually stir in enough water so the mix holds together. Shape handfuls of dough around the small plastic dinosaurs in the form of egg shapes. Give these "eggs" up to 4 days to dry then you can let the kids discover them in your yard or garden. They can be opened with a hammer or rock.

Note: Turn the eggs regularly so they dry evenly and completely. Don't leave them outside overnight if there's a change of rain or even dew, which may soften them.
