Dragon Cakes for St. George

on Friday, April 16, 2010
It seems to be quite a popular idea to make a dragon cake to celebrate St. George's feast day with kids! What a fun idea :-) In the Catholic church, St. George's feast day is April 23, so you have 1 week to make your plans and pick up supplies for your fire breathing cake!

I'm going to start with Family Fun. Here are some great

Now lets check out some St. George Dragon Cakes ;-)

Go East They Said has a great post on making their dragon cake.
I love these "swords" for slaying!!! :-)

I love how God's Canvas used up some leftover Easter candy
for "added effect" ;-)

Here's a Dragon Cake from Bless Us O Lord.

from Bountiful Blessings.

This blue dragon from Waltzing Matilda is just way too cute!


using some toys.

Find these dragon cupcakes made in honor of  St. George's Day

Here's another dragon cake from Bountiful Blessings.

Found this guy over on Lord, Make Me a Saint.

Courtney made this dragon cake for St. George's Day
with a bubble tape tongue :-P

I love this cake from Celebrating the Liturgical Year

cute dragon cake he's getting ready to slay ;-)

Homestead & Bread made these adorable

    Once again, the creativity of others impresses! What a fun way to introduce St. George to kids!

    My children LOVE the dragon cake AND the swords and are SO THANKFUL to Charlotte (Waltzing Matilda) for the inspiration to add this to our family traditions! Her creativity never ceases to amaze me! I never would have attempted making a cake like this without her encouragement (back then Family Fun didn't have a tutorial yet) and I NEVER would have thought to use foil to make swords out of butter knives had she not shared that with us all!

    My children are already looking forward to St. George's Day and this year's dragon cake!

    Oh! We are planning on posting a linky on April 24th at Catholic Cuisine for anyone who would like to share their cakes from this year!

    Now, Lacy, you had to do some major research to find that cake!!! (I had a broken leg last year and don't think we did it then, so that's from 2 years ago!)

    My kiddos are excited to do another one!!

    My kids are looking forward to a new dragon this year. All of the easter candy is gone, so new ideas will have to be used to create one this year. Thanks for sharing! I love all of these!!

    Agreed! We love Charlotte and her inspiration for passing along not only the inspiration to make this cake, but also the tutorial with how to cut it up. Our children LOVE the dragon cake, so much so, we used it again for a birthday cake with a few boys attending who also asked their mothers to make them one for their own birthdays in the future. Thanks Charlotte! :)
