Dora The Explorer Cake

This is one cake I have been long waiting to do. Ask any two or three old what their favourite show on tv is, and without a seconds hesitation, pat will come the reply "Dora The Explorer"!

I have seen so many versions of this cake online, and was waiting for a chance to make one myself. A friend ordered this for her three year old yesterday.


The detail work takes a while to do, but overall an easy cake.


It was a Marble Cake with Vanilla buttercream frosting and filling.


My friend said her daughter loved it and I had made her day....what more could I ask for? :)

You must have the patience of a saint! The cake looks phenomenal, Namratha. Now you can start singing the Dora song, "We did it," but change it to I did it (for your awesome work)! :)
