My little brother just turned 11 last week, and he begged me to make a cake for him. His favorite color is purple, so we had to work around that. There was no Captain American or Superman cake that could change his mind from the color purple! So we had to do a little thinking, and he eventually decided on a Dragon cake that he seen in the same book as my Owl cake.
So, I took on the challenge!
I filled up a 10 inch fluted tube, bundt cake pan, and went to town.
For some reason, that I cannot fathom, I have trouble with bundt pans. They don't like to cooperate whenever I work with them.
Lucky for me though, You couldn't tell that the top half of my cake was destroyed.
I used almost a whole bottle of violet food coloring, adding some royal blue in hopes of making it a little brighter, but my little Koby ended up with a grey-violet dragon.
I used sliced fruit chews for the spikes on the dragon's back, and rolled up a fruit roll around a cookie stick to use as the wings. I even tried to be creative and cut the fruit roll up to make the fire coming out of the dragon's mouth. I found super sized marshmallows at WalMart for the legs of the dragon, and then used cut up marshmallows for the teeth, claws, and eyes.
We had a happy little birthday boy! And his friends eagerly devoured everything on the cake board!
Thanks for stopping by!
