Parents of young dino fans know it has to happen eventually. When birthday time rolls around, their future paleontologist wants a cake in the shape of, or at least adorned with, dinosaurs. There's plenty of ways to do this. For those short on time there's always the option of running to the supermarket and placing a few plastic dinosaurs on top, but what if you want to make something a little more elaborate? Lucky for you, the website Howdini.com has a step-by-step video showing you how to make a pretty neat-looking dinosaur cake.
