Party Menu

Dino-saurus Sandwiches. Any type of filled sandwich cut into the shape of dinosaurs using dinosaur cookie cutters.

Dino Eggs. Hard-boil some eggs. After they cool, gently crack the shell all over, but don't remove it. Place the cracked eggs in a small bowl containing three cups of cool water and Kool-Aid® mix. Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, remove the eggshells and each egg will look like it has cracks all over it.

The Dinosaur Egg Cake

• One 9" round cake
• One 9" square cake
• Light and dark brown frosting

Making a cake in the shape of a dinosaur is daunting. Instead, try making a dinosaur egg. Bake two white cakes, one 9" round and one 9" square. First, cut the round cake in half. Attach the halves to the square cake to make a large oval. Frost using earth tones: light and dark brown are the colors of these prehistoric eggs. Finally, use the dark frosting to create a wide jagged line through the center of the oval to simulate an egg cracking.
