Recently, I was inspired by Mel's Elmo and Mer's Purse so I decided to take on the challenge of creating Dora for Joy's birthday. It looked so easy. Let's just say she looks like Oscar the Grouch. I am so cursing the Mexican skin color right now. I decided to let it be and not redo but she is sort of green. At the last minute I decided to add a touch of black to the frosting so she wouldn't be orange. BAD IDEA!
Give yourself some credit! I think it looks really good...but the way you explained it made me laugh so hard. Why is it that a cake can make one so angry?
ReplyDeleteKeep practicing. I'm sure Joy loved it and didn't notice the Mexican skin color! LOLOL!
Tami, you are a nut! Your Dora did NOT look like Oscar the Grouch...I was quite impressed - did you have a pattern to go from or did you just come up with it all by yourself? Anyway, way to go. From one novice-cake-decorator to another, I think you did awesome.
ReplyDeleteI printed a picture of her from nick jr website and then I cut it out and traced it with a toothpick. Then I just filled in the colors. The picture doesn't do it justice at how green she was. But all that matters is when Joy saw it she said, "Dora!"
ReplyDeleteTami!
ReplyDeleteDid you forget it is my birth day tomorrow?
