4th Birthday Volcano Cake with Fondant Dinosaurs

Our older son just turned four and asked for a volcano cake with dinosaurs. We had great fun making this!

I baked two chocolate sponge cakes which we cut into a volcano shape and poured melted chocolate over. Once the chocolate set we added red fondant lava.

I made a T-Rex, Stegosaurus, Dimetrodon, Triceratops, Parasaurolophus and Pterodactyl from colored fondant. We had a very happy four year old!

Snow is coming - time for a sled!

The weather is getting very wintery! Last year it was tricky to buy a sled locally once the snow arrived so this year we're prepared and I've bought the boys a red sled each. If it doesn't snow before Christmas they'll get them as Christmas gifts.
