Dinosaur Stomping Grounds

What more could you want on your 4th birthday? A complete dino-riffic cake, complete with waffle bowl volcano and frosting pond/stream. I finished it off with plastic dinosaur figures and palm trees that he could take home and play with. The dirt around the cake is just oreo cookies (without the filling) crushed up, and the lighter sand sprinkled around is graham crackers. The waffle bowl cone is covered in chocolate icing (and vanilla icing swirled in for texture) then I used the Wilton Sparkle Gel (red) to make the HOT LAVA! The pond/stream is Betty Crocker Cookie Icing (in blue) It dries quickly, but leaves a nice wet look, perfect for water. The chocolate covered raisins double as rocks (or dinosaur droppings-- pointed out by the birthday boy!)
