A cake with dinosaurs is a delicious and original gift. Chocolate cake “Dinosaur Cake with dinosaurs step by step diagram

MK DOG from levitskay

To make a cake in the shape of a dog weighing 2.5-3 kg. you'll need:
1 liter of pastry cream;
1 vanilla sponge cake measuring 21x30 cm (A4 format) and height 6-7 cm;
1 chocolate sponge cake measuring 21x30 cm (A4 format) and height 6-7 cm;
1 can of boiled condensed milk;
2-3 tablespoons of starch;
2-3 tablespoons of powdered sugar;
1 can (450 ml) of any canned fruit.

Once your biscuits are ready, they should “rest” under a towel for at least a day. Each of them needs to be cut crosswise to make 4 cake layers. Whip half the cream with powdered sugar and half the amount of starch. This is the cream for filling the cake. Gently mix the second half of the cream with 2/3 of a can of condensed milk and the remaining starch and also beat until stiff peaks form. This will be a cream for the “wool”. For the first layer, the biscuit must be cut according to pattern 1.

The first layer of sponge cake should be soaked in fruit juice, and fruit cut into thin pieces should be placed on it:

This pattern already has one more back leg, which should lie on the lower back leg. Soak the cake with biscuit, add fruit, then cream.
From the vanilla cake we cut out a figure according to pattern 3. The basis for forming a dog is ready:

Next, I cut out 2 circles from the remaining biscuit, one with a diameter the size of the dog’s head, and the other smaller, for the back of the dog. Naturally, I soak the sponge cake under these details, put fruit and cream. For the dog’s ears, I cut out a rectangle, such that when I put it on the head, the ends of the rectangle hang down. I make the middle part of the rectangle thinner so that the head is not too large, and I round the edges of the rectangle:

If necessary, at this stage I adjust the shape - I cut off the excess; if somewhere the shape seems too flat, I add pieces of sponge cake soaked in syrup. Obmaz

The best gift is a sweet gift, guaranteed by anyone with a sweet tooth. What to do when a holiday is just around the corner, but you don’t want to treat your baby and guests to store-bought cakes? If a child is delighted with dinosaurs and everything connected with them, you can give him an original cake with dinosaurs as a gift. It’s quite simple and won’t take much time, but your baby and his friends will be in a good mood. Especially if they love dinosaurs too! If your baby loves shaped treats, then you can try making him a cake as a gift. Your child will be no less, if not more, happy about such a surprise than a regular cake.

What does it take to create an unusual treat?

• in the shape of a dinosaur.
• green (for example, spinach or its juice).
• Triangular and round ice molds.
• Delicious custard.
• Round candies or dragees for decorating the cake.
• Jelly is yellow, purple or any other color - at your discretion.
• Whipped cream.
• Prunes (optional).

How to make a Dinosaur cake?

First you need to prepare all the necessary ingredients. We give the cakes the shape of a dinosaur by cutting them with a special pattern. Once everything is ready, you can start creating the treat. Place the cakes on a table covered with cling film or oilcloth. If there are several cakes, or one cake is cut into several parts, you should coat the joints of the sponge cake with cream. Then you need to give the cakes a cheerful green color. To do this, take food coloring and beat it together with the butter cream. Carefully coat the future cake on all sides with the resulting “greenery”. There should be no gaps through which the cake peeks out, nor too thick, uneven strokes, so as not to create the impression that this is not a cake, but an oil painting. The product should be coated evenly using a spoon or culinary spatula.

All is ready? It's time to move on to decorating the delicacy. Now you will need jelly, cut into triangles and circles. Place the triangles on the back, head and tail, evenly, slightly pressing into the biscuit, but not too hard so as not to spoil the dish. You can decorate the belly of the future dinosaur with circles. Now it's time for the peephole. Using whipped cream, draw two large dots on the face. Press a black jelly bean or prune into the middle of each creamy circle. The dinosaur eyes are ready! If you want them to be more expressive and shiny, you can use cream to draw another dot on the black “pupil”.

Finishing touches

Our ancient guest from the past is almost ready, but the final touch is missing. We decorate the body of the edible reptile with dragees or other round candies at our discretion - here you can show your imagination and call on your imagination to help. Remember that many children’s cakes turn out beautiful and original, but the dinosaur should truly amaze and surprise your guests. At the end of all the work, use a pastry spatula to carefully draw a “smile” of the dinosaur. Or you can line the outline of the mouth with sweets or prunes. The choice is yours. That's all. Our dinosaur cake is ready!

Second treat option

The first version of the holiday delicacy is very good for a gift and table decoration. But what to do if there is no way to reproduce such a culinary masterpiece, but you really want to try the original treat? In this case, you can try to make a cake with dinosaurs and it will turn out no less beautiful and unusual, but you won’t have to waste time giving the sponge cake its original shape.

How to make dinosaurs from fondant?

First you need to decide on the appearance of the product, the specific arrangement of parts on it. It is advisable to sketch a sketch in which the details of the future delicacy will be clearly visible. Then you can start preparing the treat. Knead the mastic, adding food coloring to it. After the mastic is ready, carefully cover the future cake with dinosaurs with it. To do this, roll it out with a rolling pin, making sure that the diameter of the sweet coating is 2 times the diameter of the cake. In order for the coating to be smooth and shiny, it is worth going over it with an iron several times. Then we carefully lift the resulting mastic with a rolling pin and transfer it to the cake, carefully smoothing out all the folds and irregularities. The future delicacy is almost ready, all that remains is to add the main thing - dinosaurs. To create them, roll out a ball of mastic of the appropriate color in your hand and sculpt in turn the torso, paws, and head of a guest from the past. Modeling from mastic is very similar to the process of creating figures from plasticine. You need to glue the parts using alcohol or water, making sure that they are firmly connected to each other.

Shutdown

After the figures are glued together, you need to place them on the future cake with dinosaurs. We place the products on a toothpick, trying to do this carefully and carefully. Then we continue to sculpt the figures to taste and also place them over the entire surface of the delicacy. At the end of the work, you can write congratulations on the cake. Or you can cut out letters from mastic and put words out of them. In any case, the cake with dinosaurs will turn out to be unusual and very beautiful. You can safely give original cakes - they will make a unique impression on the recipient. A mastic treat with representatives of the ancient animal world and a DIY “Dinosaur” cake are an excellent gift idea for a child of any age.
