A batch of Dora the Explorer cupcakes at your preschooler's party will be the hit of the occasion. Kids love to see their favorite characters appear in icing. Since Dora appeals to both girls and boys, her image is perfect for any occasion when young children will be present and looking for a treat. Dora cupcakes will make birthday parties, school parties and family get-togethers even more special. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Bake cupcakes according to cake mix package directions. Let them cool completely.
Melt chocolate in the microwave until it is smooth when stirred. Spoon the melted chocolate into a resealable bag and cut one corner off. Place the Dora cupcake template under the wax paper. Outline the template shape with the chocolate, then fill in the shape to make Dora's hair. Do one shape for each cupcake. Lay the chocolate shapes flat in the refrigerator to cool.
Place two tablespoons of the icing into a resealable bag, Keep this one white and put it aside. Put two tablespoons of the icing in a small bowl. Tint it red with the icing color and place it in a resealable bag. Put another three tablespoons of icing in a small bowl, then add enough brown icing color to make a dark brown and place it in another resealable bag. Cut one end off all of the resealable bags. In a medium sized bowl, tint the remaining icing with the skin tone icing color. Ice all the cooled cupcakes with the skin tone icing.
Remove the chocolate shapes from the refrigerator and place one at the top of every cupcake.
Make Dora's eyes by piping a circle under the hair shape. Pipe a smaller brown circle on top of the white one. Place a chocolate chip with the flat end up on top of both circles, and daub one drop of white icing on top of the chocolate chip.
Pipe a small triangle of the red icing near the bottom of the cupcake to make Dora's mouth.
Use the dark brown icing to make Dora's nose by piping a small backwards "C" shape in between the eyes and the mouth. Outline the mouth and hair with the dark brown icing.
