Thanks to the creators of many dragon cakes I saw in the galleries (sorry I don't remember exactly who did the ones I looked at). This was for my son's 2nd birthday, so I was going for a cartoon-ish look. It was just a simple yellow cake. I made a light green buttercream, then used the Wilton color spray to make it darker. The pics show off all the flaws, but I was very happy with the way it looked in real life. I added the chocolate plaque later.
