This is my sons 4th birthday cake. He wanted to have a pirate party and this was the cake he picked out from a Debbie Brown cake book. It's covered in rolled fondant and the little pirate is made out of modeling paste. It looks harder then it actually is, if i didn't have two kids running around it would've taken a lot less time. One thing i did find out though was to use a foam brush to apply confectioners varnish (which is around on the water) the next time i use it. Was not aware that the varnish would turn the brush to a sticky blob.
