Use the other cake round to make the rest of the dragon body and head. Cut a crescent shape from the outside edge of the cake and use as the tail. Cut 2 rectangular shapes from half of the remaining center for the head and neck. Take the rest of the cake and make quarter circles for the back haunches and front legs.
