Dinosaur Themed Party

A dinosaur themed party is a very popular choice for a little boy’s birthday and even little girls. It’s fun, it’s vibrant and kids love it. 

When it comes to theming a birthday party, one of the most important aspects is the birthday cake. The cake is the centrepiece of the food table and its the main event when singing “happy birthday”. The cake is where you take all the photos which you will treasure in years to come. 

So if you are having a dinosaur themed party, you definitely want to have a dinosaur themed cake!

The best part of this theme is that a cake really doesn’t need to be difficult. In fact you can make it as simple or as complicated as you want it to be.

The easiest cake would be to bake a delicious cake of choice covered in chocolate butter cream (to resemble mud). Then simply place a plastic dinosaur on the top of the cake as a cake topper. It’s simple, effective and kids will love it. Plus the birthday child gets a toy dinosaur after the party!

How awesome is that! An easy dinosaur cake that the kids will love and doesn’t cost you a lot either.

​You may however be looking for something a little bit more adventurous (although still easy). That’s ok, because we totally have you covered there too.
