Making the Dragon-scales
The dragon is made of rice krispies and cover with blue Marshmallow Fondant. It takes around 12 hours to make 150 dragon-scales. I have used a cookie cutter to form my dragon-scales.
Start at the end of the tail, the dragon-scales should be bigger at the end of the tail and getting smaller near the head. Roll some small balls of fondant to make the dragon-scales for the face that you press on the face body to make it flat.
For the decorations, use candy around the cake and for the dragon mouth use a big gum ball. Add some pastry fireworks on top of the cake.
