Diego Character Pan
-
Character pans add the character to the theme of the party easily and can be decorated at home following the directions accompanying the pan. Bake your choice of cake in the pan and let it cool completely. Slice the cake in half and fill it with fillings or frosting if desired. Fill a piping bag with colored frosting, following the image accompanying the cake pan. Pipe on the surface of the cake outlining Diego's face and clothes and filling it with stars or plain-textured icing.
Diego Toys
-
Go Diego Go toys are widely available and the smaller ones can be used as part of cake decoration. Since Diego is an animal rescuer in the rain forest, decorate the cake with green and brown frosting, representing hills and trees. Place a small Diego figurine and any toy animals you have on the cake at different positions. Instead of piping trees and leaves with frosting, place plastic trees on the cake to give a more realistic look if you prefer.

Edible Images
-
Make an edible image cake at home by making the cake yourself and purchasing a Diego edible image sheet online. The retailer you buy from will specify what cake size the edible image fits. Allow the cake to cool completely and slice it in half to fill it with fruit or frosting if desired. Pipe a border of frosting once you place the edible image on the cake to give it a finished look.
Drawing
-
Draw a Diego picture on a cake to give it a themed look. Find a Diego coloring image that you like and use that as a reference to draw the image on the cake. Use a toothpick to first draw the image on the frosted cake, then pipe the outline in black frosting. Fill the remaining parts of the drawing with colored frosting and finish the cake by piping borders on the perimeter of the cake and on the cake board for a more complete look.
