Sunday Sweets

I am very excited about today's Sunday Sweets post because I am announcing my first cake sale!!! It is no secret that I love making cakes and I do it every chance I get, but until now it was something I did just for fun. My first cake sale is for a co-workers niece who is turning 4 and loves Dora!! I was very excited about this order and in exploring the internet for inspiration I came across some amazing cakes.

This cake by Cupcake Divinity struck me as simple but sweet

I really liked the cake/cupcake idea in this design by How Sweet it is!

This cake by My Pink Little Cake was another cake/cupcake design but it was the details in the molded characters that really impressed me!

A great combination of Dora and Diego in this design I found over at Cake Central

I loved that the cake designer at Cake Studio incorporated a cartoon sculpture of the birthday girl with Dora and backpack on this adorable cake!

Another simple and sweet cake, this time by Sweet Disposition Cakes'. I love her use of color!

In the end I really wanted something that I could do in a fondant free design and this design by Kiddo Cakes was just so sweet!! I have a few simple changes in mind but will mostly stick to this very sweetly done Hula girl Dora cake for my inspiration. The birthday isn't until the end of May so be sure to check back for pictures of my finished product.
