Birthday Cake

For Kyle's birthday I made him a carrot cake, using the same recipe as the one I made for Valentine's Day. I decided to just make one layer, though, so I cut the recipe in half. I planned out a little theme for the cake too, and decorated it accordingly. I'm not that talented so it's nothing fancy, but I'm pretty pleased. All that's missing is the Jurassic Park Jeep, and maybe some limbs strewn about. I can even hear Dr. Alan Grant saying "they do move in herds." 

Stage 1: baking and design prep

Stage 2: Ice and decorate. I used walnuts and green and blue decorating sugar to create a land/water look.

Stage 3: Add dinosaurs and candles. Yes I put on 24.

 And all lit up ready for the birthday boy! He really liked it. :)
