Learn how to make dinosaur cake that looks like the Jurassic World fossil in this video tutorial.

Ingredients:
• 10" chocolate cake (10 cups batter) youtu.be/bbDAJZhpvbo
• chocolate buttercream youtu.be/948maLMHQy0
• Jurassic World Logo template (in blog post above)
• chocolate rocks
• graham cracker and oreo crumb mixture (this is the "dirt")
• melted white chocolate (in piping bag)

Procedure:
1. Secure logo to baking tray, and cover with parchment paper. Trace logo with white chocolate. Set aside to harden completely. This is the "fossil".
2. Place logo (paper) on top of 10" round chocolate cake. Using a knife, score the area around the outside to determine the "dig" area. Going to a depth of 1/2"- 1", remove the cake from the area.
3. Cover cake, except "dig" area with chocolate buttercream.
4. Sprinkle "dirt" mixture and chocolate rocks on sides, and top of cake and cake board.
5. Once chocolate "fossil" is set, transfer it to the "dig" area in the cake.
6. Brush a small amount of additional "dirt" and rocks on and near to the fossil.
7. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Cake is best consumed within 2-3 days.
