Scary Dinosaur Cake Ideas
Does your kiddo dream of being a dinosaur expert and isn’t afraid of dinosaurs? Then these cake designs may be a perfect choice! Each of these showcases a ferocious dinosaur baring its’ teeth.

You can choose to feature just a head, allowing details to really shine, or opt for having a full-body dinosaur as a cake topper. Add some green frosting and leaf details and you have yourself an amazing cake!

For Little Ones
Dinosaurs don’t have to be scary, in fact, they can also be adorable. These cake ideas certainly prove that! If you have a child who is turning one or two, these cakes are simply sweet both figuratively and literally!

Each dinosaur has a smile and big doe eyes which add innocence to the cake. Baby on the way? Then either of these two dinosaur cakes would fit beautifully into a dinosaur-themed baby shower.

To get this look, firstly pick soft colors like pastels. Secondly, add cute cartoon like dinosaurs. Thirdly, finish the cake by adding details like foliage, trees, and flowers. Voila, you have yourself the perfect cake for the little dino in your life!

Dinosaur Egg Art Cake
Looking for something a little more abstract but still on the dinosaur theme? Check out this neat dinosaur cake. This cake is fun and colorful. The dinosaur eggs add a 3D effect to the cake, meanwhile, the green, yellow and blue splashes of color give this cake a painted look. In addition, the metal dinosaur silhouette topper is both simple and artistic!

Multi-Dino Cake
Sometimes it is hard to pick just one favorite dinosaur! If that is the case, consider having a cake that features several dinosaurs.

These multi-dinosaur cakes make dessert come to life with several figurines in addition to all of the other details like the trees and the cave. It is like a scene from a book or movie!

Topping your cake with plastic dinosaurs from the local toy store act as both the perfect decoration and wonderful toys to play with later!

Not all dinosaur cakes have to be round or in the shape of a dinosaur. A traditional slab cake can give you a canvas to do so much! Create your own dinosaur world using different elements and toppings which can transform your cake into both a dig site and the Jurassic jungle like this cake!

Looking for something more simple? Place an edible photo in the center of your cake of your child’s favorite dinosaur. The ideas are endless!
Dinosaur Cupcakes
A dinosaur cake is awesome, but another idea is to serve dinosaur cupcakes! Cupcakes are a great way to easily ensure everyone gets one and of course, no cutting or plates required! Not to mention, each cupcake could feature a different dinosaur or item from the dinosaur world like dinosaur eggs, volcanoes or footprints!

Chose icing that fits with your color scheme to help tie your theme together. Additionally, make different cupcake flavors and have fun naming the flavors like Velociraptor Vanilla or Cretaceous Carrot.

Basically speaking, have fun and get as creative as you want!
