Pirate Ship

I made this pirate ship cake for my daughter's fourth birthday. The characters (Backyardigans) are hand molded out of fondant.

how very adorable - it's wonderful! Ooh I wish you had a step by step on how to do it! I can't believe those figures - I thought they were plastic toys! and how did you do those sails? I like yours a lot more than my pirate ship!

alittlesliceofhaven - The water is white fondant slightly unevenly colored blue for a slightly marbled effect. It is then painted with an uneven coat of piping gel to give the effect of ripples in water.

TeeBeeWee - Chocolate clay is also what is called candy clay. it is a mixture of melted chocolate and corn syrup. I like the taste of chocolate clay better than fondant. You can find the recipe for candy clay right here at cakecentral under recipes, keywork 'candy clay'

sweetdesignsbyla - After feeding about 40 people there was plently of cake left. I make cakes for my family only. It is a hobby not a business. So I have no idea what I would charge for a cake like this. But i should add that this cake was a lot of work, way beyond what I expected.
