Rowdy has wanted to make a cake for ages. Of course, not just a normal cake but a cake shaped like a dinosaur. Saturday provided the perfect opportunity: his best friends coming for tea. The morning was spent scouring Brixton for green and blue food colouring (for the record we couldn't find any without tartrazine so decided to take the risk and it was fine).
We whipped up a double batch of Victoria Sponge mix, filled a square tin and made a paper template to cut the dinosaur. When cooked and cooled we slathered him with lime green butter frosting and drew his eyes, scales and 'raaaaaahs' with blue icing.
Rowdy's expression as we created this magical creature was one of pure wonder... raaaaaah!

Brilliant! I bet your son will always remember this cake with wonder (and I bet his little mates were awed too). This is what cooking with kids is all about... getting their hands dyed and dirty.
