Looking for dinosaur cake mould to borrow - anybody out there who could lend me one towards the end of the month, in exchange for a nice bottle of red? Thanks.

Hi,

If you don't have any luck finding a

dinosaur mould you can either find a

good image on the computer, make a template

then cut round the template after baking

a rectangle cake. You could make cake pops

with the cut offs.

Easier still-

I regularly make small templates

then cut round sugarpaste to make animals

and characters. See example in the attached

picture of a Peppa Pig I made for my friends

little one.

Good luck !!

Thanx LoopyMom, i love your Peppa pig cake! Will try something more "sculptural" if i dont find a cake tin! :)

Thanks.

A 3D cake would be fab too !!

Could stick an ice fountain in the dinosaurs

mouth to imitate fire. Go for it. x

I was going to try this :

There is a template to print out also and a YouTube video. I don't think you need to use Betty Crocker cake mix... I was contemplating just buying sponges from the supermarket to cut out!

this is all great, thanks everyone, I think these are way better than a caketin one anyway, cant wait to get creative with icing, colours and chocolate buttons!

Those Dinopit ones are something else!!! Look more like film extras than cake.

Try Googling dinosaur cakes for ideas - there's usually lots of photos to get ideas from and folk saying how they did theirs. More Betty Crocker style than Dinopit usually.

Another option too is that I understand you can always get cake toppers which are pictures printed on icing that you can put on a normal cake.

All depends how much effort you want to put in.

Thank you Nunheadmum, after getting all these replies and looking more into it I am actually put off the caketin idea, have googled and found some pretty crafty ideas that I think me and hubby can manage. ;)
