Volcano: Cup off the top of a water bottle and then form the volcano around it with brown fondant.

Dinosaurs: Dinos can be molded out of fondant

Sand: Cover your base with crushed graham cracker crumbs

Cake: The design on the top of the cake is drawn in colored, melted chocolate (see instructables tutorial here)

Water: Spread white frosting on your cake board to create waves and then cover with blue piping gel.  Pipe grass and ass candy rocks along the boundary of the lake.

At first the volcano will "smoke" and then the jello mixture will start to bubble up and ooze reg goo.  Click here to view a video of the volcano in action.
