OK, so maybe the heading got you here under false pretences, but seriously a dinosaur...
Anyway, last Sunday was Emily's 3rd birthday, and as Claire doesn't have enough to do with her time as it is she always makes the kids a birthday cake, of their choice.
Emily wanted Dorothy the Dinosaur. A suitable plan / set of instructions (or whatever you call them) was found, and the game was on!
So three chocolate cakes and a bit of careful cutting later and...what do you know, we have a nude dinosaur!!
I wasn't privy to all the details of how each of the decorating bits was made (i was busy doing outside blokey things in preparation for the party). Needless to say, i was called on once or twice when my engineering expertise was required. Who knew, that after an undergrad degree and almost 2 post grad degrees, my engineering skills would find a real world application!!
Once Dorothy came to life it was time to ensure that her existence was recorded before she was set upon by the hoards of savages (more commonly referred to as the nephews and nieces).
Like all photographic subjects, Dorothy was a little shy to begin with, so some artistic shots were required first off
However, by the end of the shoot she felt comfortable in her butter icing and allowed some full frontal shots...
But like all good cakes her time was short lived...
Well done to Claire for another ridiculously awesome cake!!
Oh, and the best thing about the "shaped" cakes...the off cuts ensure that the chocolatey goodness hangs around for a few more days... :)
