Dinosaur cake/cookies

Dinosaurs, a lot of Geeklings love them. Including my youngest. She was immediately sold when her father shared his collection. Her favorite is the Triceratops, followed closely by the T-Rex, she even has a pluche T-Rex which she takes to bed. It should have been no surprised when she asked for a dino birthday cake.

I made both my kids cakes before, but found that cake with layers of fondant where beautiful to look at, but not great to eat. At least not for my Geeklings ;-) So I decided to make a strawberry cheesecake, with a dino twist. A cheesecake is hard to decorate, since it's so soft, so I decided to place decorations op top and alongside the cake.
 of the ​On AliExpress I found different kinds of cookie cutters and silicone molds. In the end I chose a set of different cookie shapes. For cookies I always use the recipe from Laura's Bakery, it's faul proof and they cookies don't 'bleed' in the oven. To make the cookies birthday worthy I wanted to decorate them with icing. Laura's Bakery has a great recipe for this too. I was surprised how much powdered sugar went into it! It really took me some time to get it right, but I love the result. Decorating cookies is time consuming, but worth it. If you want to give it a go, practice makes perfect. My best friend was a simple toothpick, to correct my mistakes. I put the cookies against the side of the cake, and made some chocolate 'footprints' that I could put on top.

Funny thing was... she only ate the cookies, and left the cake for the guests :-P

Cookies are not my favorite thing in the world, but I do not hate them. Sure, most people would argue that they are the best snack, but it all boils down to preference. I am a huge fan of milk, but I would not tell anyone that they are wrong for not liking it. We all have our preferences and we need to accept that. We all need to just chill out and stop sparking debates all over the place.
