My son's birthday is this Wednesday. I decided to go for a pirate theme. I found this cake idea on the Betty Crocker website when I was searching for birthday cake ideas for my son last year. However, since he was only turning one year old last year, I didn't think he'd really appreciate the cake then. This year, on the other hand, he's all about the pirates and whenever you ask him what a pirate says, he will answer "Arrrrrrrrr!"We celebrated his birthday at my mom's house tonight. I will be making another (much simpler) cake for our own small family celebration on Wednesday night).
I'll blog in full about the birthday celebrations after we celebrate Peter's actual birthday on Wednesday.
But I wanted to share a picture of this cake because I'm so darned proud of how it turned out!

This really was so fun to make. I had a blast doing it...and when I finished...I just stared and stared. I was so proud of myself! Besides, don't we all have a fixation with pirate treasure?
I like the idea of a jewelry box for the girls. Maybe if Maddie or Kinlie are ever in town on their birthdays again...
ReplyDeleteThat cake was a work of art!
Okay, I'm going to try and be nice but OH MY HECK! It's quite disgusting that you can make a cake look that good. Some people have all the talent. Oh, and I bet it tasted heavenly too! Some people! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt looked awesome and tasted so delicious too!
ReplyDeleteHooray for Pete's cake! I wish I could have seen it in person. I am glad he didn't get angry. By the way I just got a voicemail from you and you said, "Hi Sarah, this is Laurie." Must be a case of pregnancy brain!
