Dinosaur Dig Triple Chocolate Sheet Cake

I've had the idea for this cake since last summer when I was perusing a craft store and found sand molds shaped like dinosaur bones. I immediately knew their purpose, and after I checked the tag for a non-toxic label (yes!) I added it to my basket. I'm not sure why it's taken so long for my idea to come to fruition, but with Jurassic World's summer blockbuster status, I figure there's no better time than the present.

Note to busy parents: this is some of the easiest cake decorating you will do. And, more good news! There are many food-safe dinosaur bone molds available now, aside from this similar (if not identical) sand mold I used. I love these because they are smaller and you could fit more than one type of dinosaur on the cake.
