Triceratops dinosaur cake tutorial, birthday cake ideas

[@nicolem4677]

I'm a self taught baker who makes cakes just for family and close friends. I was looking through KZbin trying to get ideas for a birthday cake to make for my best friends, grandsons 3rd birthday. He absolutely LOVES dinosaurs!!! After seeing yours I didn't have to look anywhere else! I knew I wanted to give it a go at trying to make this cake for him! It was just so darn cute, I knew I couldn't nor need to look for any other cake to make!! And I'd have to say I'm proud of the job I did on it! It turned out really cute. But the GREATEST and BEST part of making this cake was seeing my best friends grandsons face!!! The excitement and joy in is little face was my favorite thing!!! He absolutely without a doubt loved his dinosaur birthday cake his auntie Coe made for him. (that's what he calls me cuz he can't fully say my name❤☺ lol) Thank you for sharing your dinosaur cake tutorial!!!

After watching this in amazement, I decided to make it for my daughter’s birthday. She LOVED it and all of the guests were blown away. Thank you so much for sharing this and making this girl’s dream come true!

[@sarahandemmaholdcroft8478]

this little trike is so adorable! oh how i wish I had half the talent you do, Zoe. Amazing cake. xo

[@Hopelessromantic666]

You could do the same all it takes is practice practice practice and patience

[@lauraswann4954]

Thanks so much for this. I made it for my sons birthday and it turned out pretty well

[@marthamendoza5971]

ESTÁ HERMOSO, HERMOSO, HERMOSO!!!!!

[@marleydon1679]

All the detail is absolutely amazing👍

[@joannecarroll5504]

I love your work & I think you're overly critical of yourself, you didn't spoil it at all. (Although, I didn't really understand all the extra tiny horns around his frill - Triceratops means '3 horned face'). Your vids are really helpful to many people, not just bakers & cake decorators, you also inspire artists who work with different clays & mixed media. Best wishes.

[@zoesfancycakes]

Thank you for your kind comments Joanne, I will have to pay a little more attention to my horns for the next dinosaur ;)

[@amandaleedowning]

Love it !! So simple yet effective

[@Breadgirl92]

This is probably my favorite cake I've seen you make, as triceratops are my favorite dinosaurs. I wish I could order one for my kids birthday!

[@zoesfancycakes]

[@paulawestmoreland5149]

Love your cakes! I'd love to try this one, please give measurements of how much cake batter for each pan ( 10 inch and 7 inch)? It looks like you baked one 10 inch and one 7 inch then sliced each in half?

[@zoesfancycakes]

I'm so sorry! I can't remember what my exact measurements were now ☹️

[@minervasantelices5883]

I am in love with your work, you are incredible. I hope to learn a lot from you. 😍😍😍

[@Zen-ok4pc]

I love your job, I wish I could someday make one. But I think.. I'm so far away 😅.... Do a Minnie, please, my daughter love Minnie ♥️... Regards from Mexico 😘😘

[@corinaesquivel7118]

Very beautiful, what price has a cake with that design and for how many people does it reach?

[@gemmaboston3055]

I did this today!! Thankyou.

[@CoinsofGrace]

I have a question. My first time going to make a cake . Do I make it the day before the party or that morning? If I make it the day before how do I store the cake ? On the counter over night covered or in the fridge? Thank you

[@zoesfancycakes]

If you're just storing it overnight I would leave it covered on the counter ☺️

[@womensupportingwomen_23]

Wow wonderful

[@dijones2441]

He’s wonderful 😍

[@DinoDelight]

After watching your vids for a while I decided to give this a go... followed this and tbh I loved the cake even though it was only a test/experiment. Do you have a golden retriever tutorial?

[@zoesfancycakes]

Great to hear! :) Really pleased it turned out well. Unfortunately I don't, but I can add it to my list of requests!

[@DinoDelight]

@@zoesfancycakes I will have ago at your other dog cakes to get some practice.

[@patriciajacobs1446]

Wow! Love it!!!

[@petrouschkacornelis8740]

How much time in advance could you make this cake? (including the sugar paste that is) Thank you for the great tutorial!

[@jeancaffrey1]

Hi could you let me know how deep each layer is please,i am doing one for my grandson and my layers seem to be looking a lot deeper than yours lol,thank you for the wonderful tutorial so easy to follow xx

[@debbiehargreaves3380]

I’m running out of superlatives to describe your cakes Zoe! Raarsome seems fitting for this one though 😀

[@colianneglenyce819]

Wow it's so beautiful to u are awesome

[@zarapeter7124]

Amazing cake, I am looking to recreate it for my son's birthday. I had a question, do I need to use willow diamond dust or can I just use a green dust similar as I can't locate the willow diamond dust anywhere.

[@zoesfancycakes]

Hey Zara, nono, you can use any dust / colour you want, same for the fondant / colour of the dinosaur :)

[@ToveBat]

Hey Zoe. awesome cake! Could you also link your brushes? I've been searching for the fluffy ones but can't find them anywhere.

[@zoesfancycakes]

HI Jeanette, thank you for your suggestion, we will look to add them.

[@tonsena120]

zoes! the queen!!!

[@Wick3d_Wicc4n]

So, cute! Did you do this without a template? I'm hoping one day I will be this good at cakes.

[@zoesfancycakes]

Hi Dawn, this one was without a template although I do often find using templates / images as guides is really helpful.
