Mixing Up the Batter

First, preheat your oven to the temperature recommended on the cake mix packaging. Follow the instructions on the box to prepare the cake batter. If you're feeling adventurous, you can make the batter from scratch using a recipe of your choice. Don't forget to add a few drops of green food coloring to give your cake that authentic dino hue!

Baking the Cake Layers

Grease your cake pans with butter or cooking spray, then divide the batter evenly between them. Pop them in the preheated oven and bake according to the instructions on the cake mix package or your chosen recipe. Once they're done baking, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before moving on to the next step.

Sculpting the Dinosaur Shape

Now comes the fun part – shaping your dino cake! Once the cakes are completely cool, place one of the layers on a clean surface or cake board. Use a sharp knife to carefully cut out the shape of a dinosaur. You can find dinosaur templates online if you need some guidance. Save any leftover cake scraps for snacking!

Frosting and Decorating

Spread a thin layer of frosting over the dinosaur-shaped cake layer to act as a crumb coat. Then, frost the entire cake with a thicker layer of your favorite frosting. Get creative with decorating! Use candies, sprinkles, or even small dinosaur toys to bring your cake to life. Don't forget to add eyes, a mouth, and scales to make your dinosaur cake truly roar-some!
