Dragon cake

This is the dragon cake I made for my sister's birthday.  My first plan was to find the old retired Wilton dragon pan and just do that in stars, but when I found the pan on e-bay it was $45 and up.  I am NOT paying that much for a pan that I will likely only use a few times!  So I bought a football shaped pan for half off with a coupon, and created this lovely dragon instead.  It's a combination of cake and cookies.  I got the plan from Wilton, which had the cookie pattern pieces.  They recommended using sugar cookies, and if you wanted added depth to use icing to cement two layers together.  I said forget that, and went straight for chocolate chip cookies.  It turned out rather well I thought.  If I did it again I might do sugar cookies for the spikes, because those would take a better green color.  It was very tasty, my sister was thrilled, and why does my family cut the heads off all my creations???
