Darcie on Cake Central

Firstly let me thank twinsline7 for the inspiration for this cake - I saw her Dora transformation and just had to do one of my own - so here's the Dora pan masquerading as my daughter Darcie (age 3)! I'm so thrilled to find another use for this pan - I'm thinking of putting this on my website for my customers to have their own daughters done the same - what do you think?

I LOVE IT!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU ...so much for using my cake for inspiration!! :D I am soooo thrilled someone actually used an idea from me!!! Your cake is ADORABLE!! Didn't your daughter just love it??? I plan on doing the same with my "Sissy" cake!!!

She hasn't seen it yet, it's 10.20pm here and I didn't start decorating until after she went to bed - I hope she likes it in the morning (only problem being that she seems to think that we'll be having a party now - and it's not her birthday until July 1 lol!). Crisseyann - the trick to the skin is to let the buttercream just start to crust over (literally a few minutes after decorating), then dip your clean finger into water and gently dab over the area you want smooth - works like a charm! It's ...

that is sooo funny my cake happened the same way.....in the morning my daughter was thrilled!! Then she said she would wait until I put up the balloons and everyone sang Happy Birthday.....she is 4 so I was able to pull off explaining it was a "just because" cake!!! I bet your daughter is going to stare at it for a while like mine did!!

Oh Darcie is such a little cutie pie! What a wonderful idea for a little girls birthday, I plan on saving this and refering back to it when I have a customer requesting a Dora cake. I think doing what you did is way better than a Dora cake any ole' day! Also, I'd let Darcie think it is her birthday, I'd just tell her we're gonna have a little party today and a bigger birthday party another day. Being 3 I'm sure she won't realize the difference between a year or 4 mos. She sound so adorable. God Ble...

WOW...i would have never thought to do that...my daughter's bday is coming up and this is very cute. I love it...how did you get the skin color so realistic?

shhh....don't show this to my niece or I'll be having to make one for her...but doubt I could do it as well as you did! excellent job and great idea

Hi KCsmom98 - skin tone was acheived with Wilton's copper paste colouring - it's perfect! Just add a little to your icing with a cocktail stick until you get the colour you want..

I think you did a great job on it. I like the idea of using it to do the cake like someone elses daughter not just dora.

I would DEFINITELY add this to your website! What little girl wouldn't love a cake that looks just like her?!? Seems like it would give you endless possibilities for personalization! Thanks for sharing! :)

Very cute! I was going to ask if the little girl in your avatar was your daughter, and now I know the answer! She is so beautiful! (So is the cake! LOL) I only have a little boy...so no Dora pan for me. :( I'm still thinking of an alternate use for my Spongebob pan!

A very clever idea! For a while there when I saw the thumbnail, I just thought maybe Dora had decided to dye her hair, put in blue contact lenses and used body makeup to make her skin paler! lol :lol: This is actually a great looking cake and if you got your daughter looking like Dora, or vice versa, I'm sure your daughter probably loved it!
