    What exactly are the dinosaurs made of? Fondant? Brilliant work, that's really adorable.

    Thanks you so much for sharing your pictures using a Creative Commons license! I linked to your fabulous Stegosauruses picture in a "Happy Birthday to Joomla!" article at the Joomla! Community Web site. Joomla! is an open source CMS offered to the world free of charge -- and the project has been in existence for four years. The colors of the dinosaurs are perfect for Joomla!'s colors - so it was a real treat (no pun intended) finding your shared image.

    Thank you so much!

  27. maura1016September 22, 2009 at 5:13 PM

    I guess what I was wondering was what kind of fondant? I bought a packet of multi-colored rolled fondant from Michael's craft store. Would this work or is there a different kind I should use?

    ReplyDelete
  28. SylviaSeptember 22, 2009 at 6:50 PM

    Hi maura1016,

    Generally, any pre-made fondant will work. I'm assuming that the rolled fondant from Michael's is made by Wilton? This will definitely work and is good fondant to start with, but it does lack in taste. We would suggest Satin Ice or other types of fondant you can find at Golda's Kitchen (http://kitchenware.goldaskitchen.com/search?w=fondant&asug=&x=0&y=0)

    Sincerely,
    S&H

    Hi there, these are just wonderful. My dino-obsesed son is turning 5 on Sunday and I am going to try my hand at making these.

    Question, I have never worked with fondant before. I have a recipe and all of the ingredients (including glycerin). Do you think it is worth my time to make the fondant or would I be better off buying premade?

    Thanks again- these are brilliant!

    ReplyDelete
  40. SylviaSeptember 14, 2010 at 7:58 PM

    Hi Carly,

    I would recommend buying pre-made fondant. From the Wilton cake decorating classes we took, we used pre-made and our instructor told us that it was fool's proof if it's your first time. It's smoother, has a good consistency, and is easier to work with. Best of luck!

    Cheers,
    Sylvia

    use the marshmallow fondant recipe

    just google it-

    it will list these ingredients-
    1 16 oz pk mini marshmallows
    4 tb water
    1tsp vanilla
    2 lb confectioners

  42. UnknownSeptember 30, 2010 at 2:33 PM

    Sylvia-

    Did you let the fondant dinosaurs dry out before decorating the cupcakes?
    Should you leave the fondant fresh so they are chewy for the kids?

    Also, I would like to know what size cupcake holders you used for these.

    This is a truly awesome achievement in creativity. My son and I were surfing the web for dinosaur birthday cake ideas. He was like, "I want those for my birthday!"

    Thank you so much for the inspiration!

  43. SylviaOctober 1, 2010 at 12:16 PM

    Hi Maria,

    Thank you for writing! Yes, I do let the fondant dinosaurs dry first. Overnight usually does the trick so that it is not too hard and the inside remains chewy for kids to bite (GRR) into.

    I use cupcake liners that are 3 1/4 oz, you can also find out more here: http://www.abakedcreation.com/p/faq.html

    Best wishes to your son, I hope that he has a fabulous birthday!

    Cheers,
