 This is another dragon cake in a series of dragon cakes. I make a dragon cake for a friend of mine every year. This year we're looking at a 2D dragon. I know my friend really well, and she loves vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream paired with chocolate cake. This is a 10-inch vegan chocolate cake.  She also wanted raspberries in the middle of the cake. I also had noticed that the cake layers were just a touch thin, so I decided to stand the raspberries upright to take up a bit more space. Then I filled in the small gaps with more vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream. Then I filled in the gaps of the cake with more buttercream . In fact, I used so much buttercream to this point, that I had to mix up a second half a batch just to frost the cake. Then I rolled out some gray fondant and laid it over the cake. Then I rolled out some orange fondant and traced around this image of a fire-breathing dragon I chose from google. . I took the time to press the lines more deeply into the fondant
