Boot's Face Cake (from Dora the Explorer)

This is Boots from Dora the Explorer. I cut out the face and "hair" separately from an 11x15 inch sheet pan and assembled them on a cake board cut to match the cake-shape. The sides are iced smooth, the top is done in #16 star tip.

This is a Wii cake I made for someone's husband... he loves video games apparently! It was difficult to get the sides of the cake perfectly smooth.... I think the fondant stretched thin as I applied it... it was a tall cake.... the white wii portion was 5 layers high. It was based on a cake Martha Stewart made for Wired magazine... no one can compete with Martha!
