Go, Diego, Go Cupcake Cake

Thanks so much to CranberryClo for her cake that I darn near copied for this. The cupcakes are devil's food. The icing is buttercream (half butter half crisco). The gator is fondant (I made him!) and the rocks are edible. They taste a bit like sixlets, the candy. The figures were purchased at Big Lots for $4.50. It also came with Dora. I am volunteering for a local foster home called Angels Arms. I am making cakes for each of the 12 children that live there as well as the parents. I am so proud of me!
