Dora and Boots Cake

I love this cake. I found the Dora and Boots figurine at the store. I covered the cake as usual with one color and then cut small strips from a lot of different colors of fondant that I mixed. I'm not one for repetition so I didn't do the same colors in the same pattern or at the same widths apart. I then took some strips and wrapped them around some wooden chopsticks and let dry. I also made loops around twisted paper towels for the bow. Then I attached all of the pieces to the cake using corn syrup. Next, I cut out stars and drew faces on them using black food coloring and white gel icing. I slid them about half way onto some floral wire and placed around the Dora and Boots figurine in the middle of the cake.
