Dora the Explorer Cake

This was one of my most labor intensive cakes as it had a lot of elements to it. My niece requested a Dora cake...and then also wanted to incorporate all the characters, so I added fondant Boots and Backpack (with Map) characters. I ran out of time to include Swiper. I made the border out of cut out stars which are also part of the Dora world. My niece loves the taste of fondant and had picked off and eaten several stars before the cake cutting....and before we knew it, Boots was missing an arm and tail.
