This set of cake toppers was a disaster from the beginning. From the benign Barney the Dinosaur looks of my supposedly vicious T-Rex, to the total collapse of my Brontosaurs (which doesn't even exist anymore), this was a failure of design.

I spent so long mix, mix, mixing the special sparkly color, that it's a little disappointing that these are destined for disposal. I don't know what to do with them, on the one hand it's hard to toss anything with that much time and energy behind it. But on the other hand, what can you do with a dinosaur with a broken neck?

I'll use the T-Rex as a package embellishment for Christmas, but the other one will just have to serve as a lesson in hubris. Oh, and a lesson learned that long necks need structural integrity.
