I'm going to keep this simple. If you want to make an awesome cake for kids - make it out of Rice crispy treats. You can form it (while still hot) in to any shape. I made my little brother an upright lego man! For this dragon cake - I stacked frozen cake around a gas station plastic cup and then formed the dragon out of rice crispy. For scales I cut fruit rollup into triangles & glued everything on with frosting. For the castle walls. I made chocolate cookies and cut holes and placed hard candy in the hole to make 'stained glass'. I used a formula scoop for a cookie cutter (protien scoop for those of you in a different lifestyle? :)). I also threw in a couple glowsticks in the 'cave'.My neice loved this cake so much - only problem is it's super time-consuming & now my nephew wants one too..
