How to make a T-rex cake from the Jurassic park and Jurassic world movie. I made this Dinosaur cake for the release of the new Jurassic world Fallen kingdom movie. On a side note, I refer to the T-rex as a 'he' throughout the video but I don't think that's technically correct :)
The cake board I used for this one was 14" by 10" with a 9" cake
(Please note you do not need to use all of the tools listed below, they are just what I used in the video as I get asked a lot which products I used)

Chocolate ganache recipe -
- To make chocolate ganache you can simply melt chocolate with double cream in a glass bowl above a pan of boiling water ( I use the hob to heat the water, but be sure to turn this right down once the chocolate begins to melt so it doesn't burn). I use the ratio of 3 to 1 chocolate to double cream.
