3D Dinosaur Bones Pancake

3D Dinosaur Pancake During our recent trip to New York we visited the Museum of Natural History. We got to see some really cool dinosaur skeletons. Allie thought they were pretty cool, so I thought I’d see if I could recreate one in pancake form.

Allie and I in front of a T-Rex

Here’s what I started with (I made all the shapes first then put them together with pancake batter):

parts for the dinosaur pancake

And here’s Allie with the finished product…she saying “RAAAARRRRRRRRARARRRR!!!!”

    how incredible that you do this for your daughter. It’s so touching and really impressive!

    Joseph Campbell went to the Natural History Museum in NY as a boy, and he says that inspired him to pursue his mythic anthropology… and now that same museum has inspired this incredible piece of dinosaur pancake art! I’m in awe of your awesome skills and vision!

    That is mindblowing.

    You should have an exhibit somewhere. Like the Museum of Awesome Food. Is there a Museum of Awesome Food? If there is, you should totally be a part of it.

    That’s amazing!!

    Awesome! The best pancake yet – for me :)

  9. Jeff 20. Sep, 2010 at 2:09 pm #

    Very cool!

    I hope they show this on CBS this morning, your dedication to this hobby is astounding.

    Wow, cool!

    Prehistorically delicious!

    Wanna stop by and make a waggon fulla pamcakes for my daughter’s second birthday?

  14. Katherine 24. Sep, 2010 at 5:14 am #

    If she likes rawring, you should read DINOSAUR VS BEDTIME together… best dinosaur roaring book ever.

  15. june7 24. Sep, 2010 at 5:28 am #

    How did you make the pancakes stay still long enough? Mine would have been bendy and flopped. I’m impressed!

  16. Tiffiny Felix 24. Sep, 2010 at 5:51 am #

    Yeah, I tried making Micky Mouse and heart pancakes once. It didn’t go so well…your creations are amazing! :)

  17. Carina 24. Sep, 2010 at 6:23 am #

    You brought a tear to my eye and a smile to my face. My Dad used to draw unicorns on my lunch bags in the morning. Though he really couldn’t draw very well, I still loved them. He’s no longer with me but I’ll always remember the things he did for me to show me he cared. Keep rocking the pancakes for Allie and give her a hug for those of us missing our Dads.

    Hi
    great stuff!
    do you cook a round pancake and then cut out shapes? how could you pour liquid batter into shapes otherwise?

  19. Maria 24. Sep, 2010 at 10:04 am #

    You are such a cool dad!

  20. mindy1 24. Sep, 2010 at 10:05 am #

    OMG how cool

  21. Tracy 24. Sep, 2010 at 10:53 am #

    How in the world did you get that to stand up? At any rate, very cool.

  22. mary beth barlett 24. Sep, 2010 at 11:03 am #

    Are you married?? guys like you come along once in a great while. :)

  23. Angela 24. Sep, 2010 at 12:00 pm #

    You’re pretty much the best dad ever.

  24. Sasha @ Global Table Adventure 24. Sep, 2010 at 12:12 pm #

    What an awesome idea! How on earth do you get floppy pancakes to stand up straight, though?

    :)

  25. Michelle 24. Sep, 2010 at 2:57 pm #

    WOW, You are SO Freakin’ Creative! I LOVE IT! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

  26. Lena 24. Sep, 2010 at 7:59 pm #

    These are do amazing! Do any of you know if he has a post among all these saying how he does the shapes? I’d love to try something simple for my nephews and nieces.

  27. Debra Parker 25. Sep, 2010 at 1:04 am #

    Awesomely creative! Never saw this before!

  28. Sarah 25. Sep, 2010 at 1:04 am #

    This is ridiculously amazing. Please keep up the good work. I’m having an awesome breakfast vicariously through you.

  29. Jaala Allen 25. Sep, 2010 at 1:28 am #

    I found out about your blog through The Daily What. What a fun blog you have! I will be a loyal follower now!

  30. Sarah 25. Sep, 2010 at 1:59 am #

    Now that is a breakfast with bite!

  31. Carmen 25. Sep, 2010 at 7:26 am #

    This is amazing! You’re pretty friggin’ awesome to do this for your daughter. :D

    Did you abandon your Youtube page? I’ve been looking forward to videos.

  32. Nlzzzz 25. Sep, 2010 at 9:45 am #

    Maybe not as impressive as my full scale 3D Jay Leno pancake, but still not bad.

  33. Nathan Zeldes 25. Sep, 2010 at 1:38 pm #

    Way cool!

    :-)

  34. annie 25. Sep, 2010 at 5:51 pm #

    You are such a cute dad. Allie doesn’t know what an amazing dad she has and won’t realize it until much later. You are an inspiration.

  35. Stephanie 26. Sep, 2010 at 2:53 am #

    These are all great! Thanks for sharing!

  36. Allen Parks 26. Sep, 2010 at 5:08 pm #

    Nice! When does the pancake mold for this one come out? :-)

  37. Shenny's Mommy 27. Sep, 2010 at 2:11 am #

    Awww, you are one true creative dad.

  38. Peter 28. Sep, 2010 at 4:27 am #

    My six-year-old daughter would love these!

  39. Stacy Uncorked 28. Sep, 2010 at 11:38 am #

    Princess is going to want me to make her some of these – she LOVES dinosaurs! What in the world did you use to make the shapes for the pancake batter? Desperate mom’s want to know… ;)

  40. BigMamaCass 28. Sep, 2010 at 7:59 pm #

    That is beyond amazing!! You are so talented!

  41. lindsay 29. Sep, 2010 at 12:22 pm #

    you’re seriously the coolest dad EVER.

  42. Tom E. Diffenbach 29. Sep, 2010 at 3:01 pm #

    A couple of us are wondering how you get the precise shapes? Hand cutting? cooking cutter type cutting? Cutting when almost done, letting edges seal in final cooking? Standard batter/recipe? If you’ve answered these questions before, maybe you can guide us to where. Don’t want to make this fun work for you but we’d like to have your fun, too, as well as to enjoy what you do. Thanks.- Seraph and Tom

  43. Patrick Kelly 04. Oct, 2010 at 6:25 am #

    Just did a shout out to you on my dinosaur blog! Good job Jim! I just wanted to know how it tasted?

  44. Wendy 09. Oct, 2010 at 1:38 am #

    You make THE COOLEST pancakes! My daughters and I sat and looked through your blog and laughed so hard! Clever and fun! Thanks for the entertainment! Now my daughters want me to make cool pancakes like you, but I am sad to say it is all I can do to pull off a simple Mickey Mouse… or even just not to burn them. Sometimes I forget to flip them until they are really far gone because I am distractable, so kudos to you! You made my day today!

  45. Neztra 12. Oct, 2010 at 1:34 pm #

    All he needs is a puddle of maple syrup! This is so cool.

  46. OneSmallStepWeb 12. Oct, 2010 at 1:46 pm #

    You are awesome dude. This is a talent!

  47. Alice 12. Oct, 2010 at 4:33 pm #

    This is amazing! I have forbidden my husband from showing my 4 year old son though since his two favorite things in the world are pancakes and dinosaurs and I’m sure mine would never come out as great. This is terrific.

  48. Angel Barrette 12. Oct, 2010 at 5:02 pm #

    This is fantastic. :) Your creative and heartfelt efforts to make your little girl smile have made my day. Not to mention you’ve combined two of my favorite things-breakfast and dinosaurs. Keep it up!

  49. Eileen 12. Oct, 2010 at 5:26 pm #

    Not only are you the coolest dad EVER, you’re adorable, too!
    Marry me :)

  50. Tom Reingold 12. Oct, 2010 at 6:48 pm #

    What kind of example are you setting for your kids? Didn’t your parents tell you not to play with your food? ;-)
