Grand vacation themed cake

Dora the Explorer specialty cake

After a friend saw my daughter's cake, she informed me that she wanted the same Dora themed cake for her daughter. I was ecstatic with the fact that someone loved my design and at the same time I would have another reason to make another lovely cake. Since I had a lot of time preparing, I researched with the possible design that I can make with Dora the explorer's cake.

This cake seems like it's finished but it's just the initial design. The top layer cake is 6 inch covered with fondant. I wanted the idea that Dora the explorer is having a grand vacation in a lovely tropical island which is full of lovely flowers, but I also wanted to incorporate the idea of a lovely ocean view in there. That's where I got the ideal design of the top layer. 

Next blog will be the final product

Dora inspired fondant cake

My first fondant cake: My daughter's 6th birthday 

This is the first time I made a fondant cake on May 31, 2012. My inspiration, are my daughters. I knew I can make something very nice but since I never had enough time to prepare and conceptualize the design. It was this simple yet very pretty and was well appreciated at that time. The cake topper was real toys. 

This was the time I knew I can make something out of my being artistic and at the same time doing something about it by being productive. :))

I always am very happy after creating lovely cake/cupcake designs.
