Recently we have been experiencing a bit of a heatwave as well... 90+ degree temperature don't really motivate me to bake... but soon I will be resuming my baking as I have a couple of orders coming up next weekend!
As for this post... a few weeks ago one of our good friends was having a birthday party for their beautiful daughter. They asked me to make the cake and I was VERY excited! Hailey LOVES Dora so it was only natural to make a dora cake!
I started out with 2 10inch vanilla cakes. I colored some of the cake batter purple and marbled it through the cakes just for a fun effect.
The layers were filled with a creamy "fun-fetti" type filling and the cake was frosted in buttercream.
To get the Dora image on the cake I used the piping gel tranfer method. I found a picture I liked of Dora... printed it...and then traced it on parchment paper using piping gel. Once it was all traced I transferred it onto the frosted cake.
Once I was satisfied with the transfer I began coloring her in by piping using a star tip. I had a colored picture to use as reference while I filled in the outline.
Here is the final product....
Hailey loved the cake.... she actually just dug in using her face! I was happy with how the cake came out and look forward to making more fun cakes like this soon!
I hope everyone has a great week and stays cool!
