Make Your Own Dora the Explorer Birthday Cake

Dora the Explorer can be the model for a great and successful theme birthday party, as she represents a character that all children know and love, due to her adventurous and kind personality. A theme party's most representative item is the birthday cake, as it gathers the attention of all the young guests and surprises the birthday girl or boy.

If you already chose Dora the Explorer as the theme for your birthday party, then making your own Dora the Explorer birthday cake and customizing it to your child's tastes is a great way to go. A Dora birthday cake should represent the actual character Dora and her particular style and specific colors.

At first, you can choose between two distinctive options: you can either bake a regular cake or then add a typical Dora accessory to it or you can actually build the cake as Dora's face or the entire Dora image. If you chose to make a Dora the Explorer birthday cake from a regular cake, then you can decide for any kind of flavor and number of layers.

Considering the fact that Dora is a character that appeals mostly to young girls and that the basic colors that the products that feature theist cartoon character are purple and pink, you should consider adding some pink, cyclamen or purple glaze on top of your cake. On top, you can get a small Dora figurine or write Dora wishes you Happy Birthday!

Even more, you can match the colors of your cake with the colors of the balloons or with various Dora the Explorer party supplies, like little cups, plates, piñatas and Dora pintables, for an authentic Dora the explorer theme party that your child and all the guests will love.

If you opt for a Dora the Explorer birthday cake in the actual shape of Dora, you should at first bake a large and thin cake with your child's favorite flavor. After that, get a clear and contoured image of Dora’s face, apply it on the cake and cut the cake following the contour. When you are done, use colored glaze to make Dora’s face: you can use chocolate glaze for Dora's hair and candies for her eyes and lips. You can also make another cake and write Dora's name on it, then attach it to the face cake in order to create a surprising Dora the Explorer birthday cake.
