Volcano Dinosaur Cake

My twin boys are really into dinosaurs so this year for their 4th birthday, I made a dinosaur themed cake. It was actually a volcano, with dinos all around it.

It was 4 diferent sized cakes stacked on top each other, the top cake I cooked in a large glass measuring cup to make it rounded.

The center had a pvc pipe that we put dry ice in so the volcano would smoke.

I had fake water streaming down the side. I did that by making a batch of hard candy, coloring it blue, pouring it onto a flat surface, and then molding it to fit the right way before it cooled.

It turned out really neat, my boys loved it!
