Scary Dora

Well, since I made the suggestion for this topic I may as well tell my story of Scary Dora. This was my first attempt at a 3D character. Dora looked more like E.T than she should. The cake was for my niece and God bless her she was able to recognize Dora right away. My brother, on the other hand, told me he had nightmares that the Dora head came after him after the cake was eaten. Even after the Dora head was buried in the back yard. Even after the Dora head was taken to the recycling center. LOL! icon_lol.gif No more sculpting for me-I have no eye for proportion. There is no way I am posting this cake in the regular cake section for all to fear. Is there a way to post it in this section?

YES!!! You should post it here....it's really easy!! It's funny or not funny how much I can appreciate everyone's stories that are out there. I always have an eyes are too big for my stomach attitude when it comes to cakes. I think....that is so easy!!! Then I try it and when I come back to cakecentral and look at the cakes I am in awe!! Cake decorating is hard and back-breaking, neck tensing, hand wringing work!!!! But it is also such a joy to be a part of someone's special day or celebration! It is a relief to know that others struggle too! icon_wink.gif

But you did such a great job at your sculpting!!! I think she's cute. How did you get the arms to look so smooth and stay upright...

My brother is VERY happy to critique my cakes, and he isn't particularly gentle about it!

I think you did a great job, keep up the good work! Janice (aka veejaytx)

ps: After reading this, I am quite sure I'm not ready for 3-D cakes (I'm still trying to manage the character/shaped pans, I just posted my chocolate cottontail bunny in the Easter photos).

I think it's just amazing the way you put this cake together. She's not scary at all!

I dont think she looks scary, but I can say that I had to look twice, to see if you posted the right one...but I think she looks more like LILO of lilo and stitch because of her outfit....so keep that in mind, you have a knack for doing cakes...shes cute! (edited to fix spelling)

Yes, looks like Lilo to me, too.. And more like a Peanuts character proportion-wise. Keep sculpting! Have fun! Try creative things instead of trying to duplicate something maybe? icon_smile.gif
