Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box yellow cake mix + ingredients on box eggs, oil, water for 9x13 pan
  • 2 cups store-bought chocolate frosting softened
  • 2 cups vanilla frosting tinted light green (gel food color)
  • 1 sheet of cardstock or parchment for stencil
  • Nonstick spray or butter for pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch pan with spray or butter.
  2. Mix cake batter per box directions. Pour into pan and bake 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
  3. Smooth chocolate frosting over the top with an offset spatula. Chill 10 minutes to set.
  4. Cut a dinosaur silhouette from cardstock or trace and cut parchment. Place on chilled cake.
  5. Spread green frosting over the whole cake, about 1/4-inch thick. Remove stencil carefully to reveal the silhouette.
  6. Refrigerate 30 minutes before serving so frosting firms.
