Dora Cake

I made this Dora and 3D Boots cake by baking an 11x15 half sheet cake, and then cutting out the Dora and grass shapes. The Dora shape was retrieved from the internet, cut out, and used as a guide when cutting the cake.

The cake doesn't have to be cut into the exact shape of the Dora picture. I cut around the picture, which made my cake larger. Then, I drew Dora's outline on the cake, and the cake left over on the edges was star-tipped in with white frosting.

I star-tipped both Dora and the grass to match the photo. Then, I made cupcakes, which I used as jungle flowers above the grass, and as balloons coming from Dora's hand. The balloons are attached to Dora's hand with curling ribbon.

Last, I baked Boots, using a 3D bear pan. I trimmed down the ears a bit, and frosted him to look like a monkey instead of a bear. Then, I added a monkey tail, made of frosting, that rested on the cake board. The cake board is covered in colored foil. I used blue for the sky, and then cut green foil for the land background.
