I wasn't very happy with this cake. Usually when I'm trying something I've never done before, I get suggestions and ideas from CC (of course!). But my computer was down, so I just had to wing it......there's something just not right about the shape :( But the birthday boy was happy with it, so I guess that's all that matters! Sails are paper, pirate decorations are tattoos for the birthday boy to keep. Other decorations are fondant. TFL.
