Instructions

1. Bake an 8- to 10-inch round, two-layer cake. Use any type of cake desired (yellow, chocolate, marble, strawberry, vanilla). Allow each part of the cake to cool. Stack the layers on top of one another using buttercream frosting as the "glue" between them.

2. Frost the cake in sky-blue marshmallow fondant (purchase or make your own). Sculpt some white fondant into the shape of Toothless, the black dragon friend of the movie's main character. Toothless's body is a basic dragon shape with a rounded head and thick tail that forms a point on its end. Use toothpicks to hold the head and the body together and stills from the film as guidance if necessary.

3. Color the Toothless fondant shape with black coloring gel. Use yellow coloring gel for the eyes. Place the shape on top of the cake. Use a bit of buttercream frosting to hold the dragon in place.

4. Make grass out of green-colored fondant to use as the border around the bottom of the cake. Use white fondant to shape clouds and attach them around the cake using buttercream frosting.

5. Add sparkling candles around the dragon's mouth when presenting the cake.
