Dora The Explorer

Dora The Explorer

This cake was such a success for me. I made my neice and AWFUL first birthday cake so this year i was nervous and wanted it to be spectacular. I wasnt happy with the icing texture (i usually get a really great pattern but it was choppy this time) but the chocolate transfers came out sooo amazing. I just bought a printer but am waiting for santa to deliver my ink and everyone though it was printed not hand drawn which i found to be a great compliment. Thanks for looking.
