I made Dora and Boots for my twins 3rd birthday. I just used a large coloring book picture and cut out Dora. I made the Dora birthday cake out of a box cake and used butter cream icing to frost. It was fun and they loved them.
I used a heart shaped pan and I did an image transfer from a picture I found on the internet of Dora. I made butter cream icing to decorate and Wilton coloring. I did not use the Dora color pack because I already had 3 of the 4 colors supplied. I am not sure which … Read more

I made this Dora birthday cake for a friends daughter. She loves Dora (and boots). I was inspired by the decorations (see plate next to cake) that were chosen so we decided to have Dora Boots and some stars.

I made this Dora the Explorer cake from the Wilton cake pan from Hobby Lobby that was $11.99 then outlined it with chocolate icing. I used the star tip #16 to fill in the body. This cake only took about 4 hours to completely finish but that includes waiting for it to bake and cool. … Read more
