Instructions
Prepare your equipment:
Step 1
You will need; Cooled boiled water, fine brush, spoon, rolling pin, icing sugar, knife, circle cutter, cocktail stick. NOTE: All decorations are attached to the cupcake with water.
Making the background:
Step 2
Mix the Vanilla Frosting with a spoon. Mask the top of the cupcake with a thin layer of Vanilla Frosting using the back of the spoon.
Step 3
On a clean dry surface knead Yellow Icing until pliable. Dust the work surface with icing sugar and pin out the Yellow Icing to 2-3 mm thick.
Making the dinosaur:
Step 5
For the neck and tail, shape 20g Yellow Icing into a tapered sausage. Cut in ½, in the middle, at an angle. Attach to the outer edge of the cupcake.
Step 6
For the head, shape 10g Yellow Icing into an egg shape. The thin end is the top of the head and wider end is bottom.
Step 9
Mark in the mouth with the cocktail stick. Press in dimples either end of the mouth with the end of the paint brush. Attach to the neck.
Step 10
For the eyes shape 2 small balls of Yellow Icing and attach to the eye sockets. Mark a line across the centre of the eyes to give the impression they are closed.
Step 11
Create eyelashes by shaping a tiny amount of Black Icing into a thin sausage, cut in ½. Use the cocktail stick to help put them in place on the line marked in earlier.
Step 13
For the nose, shape 2 small balls and attach to either side of the face. Press in with the end of the paint brush.
