Go, Diego, Go! Cake

We celebrated my 3yo son's birthday recently, and I thought I'd show some you some pictures of the cake.  It was a Go, Diego, Go! cake, and it was difficult.  I don't, personally, care for shape pans or character cakes, this one was done at my husband's request.  They aren't very creative and they are a lot of work.  I think there are other cakes that would be cuter with the same amount of work.  But it turned out well. I took some shortcuts, due to time constraints. 

Here's the cake...

The watchband is supposed to be yellow.  The rescue patch is supposed to green and yellow.  I didn't have time to make those colors because I procastinated.  Actually, I made two cakes.  The first one, I messed up and tried to ice the entire thing white.  Well, that makes it impossible to see the lines that guide you when decorating.  So, I tossed it, and started over.  The hardest part of this cake was the white icing.  It is very easy to ice a round cake  without getting crumbs, but this cake was incredibly crumby...just zoom in, you'll see.  (You may not even need to zoom in!)
