Pirate Ship Cake

Step 9Decorating your totally awesome pirate ship cake!!

Decorating your totally awesome pirate ship cake!!
Decorate your cake using the toy pirates, malt balls, cocktail stir stick swords, and pirouette cookies.

I gave my cake a wood grain appearance by using a fork.

I made the sails out of regular construction paper. I poked the wooden skewer at both ends of the sail and then pushed it into the cake.

You will learn that you'll have to keep re-frosting due to smudges and also to use as a glue.

I stuck a toy pirate inside the crows nest and used the frosting as a glue. The frosting also helped me glue together my malt ball cannon clusters.

Enjoy!
