Pirate Birthday Cake

I was excited to make this cake, as I think it was my first with the pirate theme. :) I love trying new things. Mom to the birthday gave me a photo to go by, so I can't claim artistic originality here, but it was fun just the same. And I did add a couple of my own small touches. :)

Vanilla cake, chocolate fudge filling, buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents. The treasure chest has a base of rice krispy treat. The birthday boy loved it, which is my favorite part. :)

Pirate Ship Thank You Cake

Made this 11 x 15 2 layer vanilla cake with chocolate cream cheese pudding filling and buttercream frosting for Pathways Middle school teacher appreciation day. I hope they "appreciated" their cake and that it tasted great for them, as they deserve it. :o) Free-handed the pirate boat and scene.
