This year at our family Christmas gathering, we decided to celebrate my nephew Cohen's birthday too since we would not all be together on that day. He decided on a dinosaur theme. With a limited amount of time to make the cake, and not wanting to spend numerous hours in the kitchen away from my family, I opted for some plastic dinosaurs on top of a landscape.
I purchased a collection of dinosaurs and let Cohen choose out his favorite. I also purchased some candy rocks, jelly beans for eggs and Oreos for the other decorations. The cake was molded to look like a hill and the dinosaurs were set around in various scenes. Cohen was very happy with it and everyone had fun choosing the part of the scenery they wanted to eat.
