Making a Dora the Explorer birthday cake requires a little imagination and creativity. You can pick up a Dora-shaped cake pan from most craft and party stores, but you can also create one using a plain sheet cake, colorful icing and a photo of your favorite character. A popular Dora cake involves seeing Dora on an adventure; this means creating a setting with the cake and using Dora toys to illustrate the story. Does this Spark an idea?

1. Bake the sheet cake. A standard half-sheet cake is roughly 8 inches by 16 inches by 2 inches. You can make one layer or two, depending on your preference. You can also make any flavor you prefer.
2. Use blue frosting to decorate the top half of the cake. You want to use light blue frosting to create a blue sky. Add bits of white frosting to create clouds.
3. Add green frosting to the bottom for grass. Use cake topper decorations to add to the topography of trees, hills and walls.
4. Add a map icon to one corner. Map and Backpack are important parts of the Dora the Explorer story. Map can announce the birthday wish. Remember Map's instructions are usually to go to three different points or be simply: Happy Birthday Name.
