I was asked to do an Asian themed cake- client wants a red cake with a dragon ... OK!

I decided (so far) to do a round ( fondant) tiered with a gold dragon going up to the top tier. So, I goggled looking for dragon sketches- these guys are very detailed w/ scales etc... yikes! looks this one is going to be a dozzie icon_twisted.gificon_twisted.gif

I would probably make a long rope and wrap it around the tier, then use something like a decorating tip or other tool to indent scales in it's body. Then add the legs and model a head. Debbie Browns books have some good info for modeling dragon heads.

Good luck!

I would do the same as Courtney suggested, here is a pic of the dragon from Debbie Brown´s Book: Magical Cakes

I just posted a cake I did for a friend who got engaged to his Taiwanese girlfriend. It doesn't have a 3D dragon, but a colorflow one. It might give you an idea, though. icon_smile.gif
