Zack's Pirate Ship.jpg

This was a very fun cake to do if not frustrating. It was for my 5 year old godson Zack...and he doesn't like chocolate so the cake is a yellow cake...and I really tried to use straight butter cream tinted brown for the wooden planks...but the look just didn't (okay here is comes) float my boat! AH So I mixed in some Fudge icing...and it worked much better...given more time I would have added more detail to the ship...but as it was I was 35 minutes late to the party.

I would like to make this cake for my nephew. Where did you get the pirate figures? How did you make the rails?

The figures are from my nephew's Lego Pirate set. The rails are hand piped chocolate.

I baked two half sheet cakes and then cut the basic ship shape. And then I baked one thin square layer, which I cut in half and stacked for the Captains roost in the back.
