Looking for a bakery for dinosaur cake

[Anonymous]

Any leads?

The bakery at Safeway can do a bunch of various cakes (there's a catalogue that you can flip through) but you have to order in advance. Or you can have someone custom make but that is going to cost $$.

Or you could buy a plain sheet cake (or make one) with chocolate frosting, and sprinkle some green coconut and put little plastic dinosaurs all over it. One dinosaur for each slice/guest.

Dinosaur shaped or just with a picture of a dinosaur on it?

I bought a mold and did it myself. Crazy decorating, but it was fun.

I had Safeway do a custom dinosaur cake for me it was maybe $10 more than the regular price. Just a normal sheet cake, but they copied a design I wanted

She delivers and it tasted great.

Giant has the best sheet cakes and you can give them any picture to scan and they'll make the icing match it. Scan a dinosaur pic.

Giant has one - at least several years ago they did b/c we got it for our son's 4th bday. Look in the book of cakes in the Giant bakery section. If I recall they frost the top of the sheet cake to look like grass/sand and then put plastic dinaosaur figurines on top.

Balduccis. And the cake is delicious, not like sweet flavorless pasty filling cake but high quality pastry cream where you taste the richness of butter, milk and other "real" ingredients. And it was third of a price compared to bakeries.

You can see the Giant cakes on their website (for pictures, not sure if you are looking for a shaped cake).

But as one pp suggested, sometimes making your own had a great effect if you add plastic figures. Because the kids get a kick out of keeping the plastic figures. If you do it yourself, you can add one to each slice (love this idea).

I made one myself that looks like a Triceratops and it was not too difficult. The horns were ice cream cones. and the frill was made out of cookies. The back was a round cake -- cut in half and then stacked together to make it more sturdy. I used another round cake to cut out a tail and four legs. The head was just a little cupcake. I found instructions online and it was pretty easy. I used white m&m type candies for eyes and toe-nails. I saw a similar one that used tortilla chips to make a stegosaurus.
