Equipment
- Electric mixer
- Icing tip grass tip or star tip
- Icing bags
- Cake pan
- bowls
- spoons
- Rubber spatula
- Wax paper
- Permanent marker
- Scissors
- Small dinosaur toys
- Plastic plant leaf
Ingredients
- 1 Box of chocolate cake mix
- 3 Eggs
- ½ cup Oil
- 1 ¼ cup Water or milk
- One can of white frosting
- Green food coloring
- 6 Oreo cookies
Instructions
- Bake your cake according to the box cake instructions.
- Cool cake completely.
- Use wax paper to draw a number 3 you will use as a stencil to trace onto your cake. Cut out the number 3 with scissors and place it on top of your cake. Trace the number 3 onto the top of your chocolate cake with a sharp knife.
- Carefully dig out the inside of your number three cake. Just dig out a shallow small amount of the chocolate cake.
- Scrape out the cream from 6-10 Oreo cookies. Put the black cookie part of the Oreos in a ziploc bag and crush them, or crush them with your food processor. Sprinkle the cookie crumbs into the cut-out 3 on your cake.
- Mix green food coloring with your white frosting. Or mix one drop of blue, yellow, and brown together for the same color seen in my photos. Put the icing in a piping bag with a star tip or grass tip and cover the surface of your cake surrounding the 3.
- Decorate the top of the cake with small dinosaur toys and plastic leaves. Optionally, add mini chocolate eggs as 'dino eggs'.
