- Bundle 5 to 7 M&M'S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies together, and press them into the cake as the dinosaur's spots.
- Dot the dinosaur's face with M&M'S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies for an eye, nose and dimple.
- Using the decorator's frosting, pipe a smile and eyelashes.
- Line M&M'S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies along the bottom of the feet.
- Crumble the cake scraps, and spread them under the dinosaur's feet.
