By request– here is the Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything Veggie Tales Birthday Cake I made for J’s 8th Birthday:
Lots of pictures of pirate cakes are available– many with pointers on how to do it at http://www.coolest-birthday-cakes.com/kid-cakes.html
Holy cow! I am seriously impressed! That is incredible! I think you can quit your day job and go into the cake business.
Where did you get supplies that dont have the skull and crossbones on it?
Actually, I made the cake parts out of fondant– it’s just like working with playdoh so it’s pretty easy and kind of fun! The plates and cups, etc. came from a party outlet store and represent parts of a ship. I know there are Veggie Tales plates, etc available for purchase but we didn’t go that route. The characters are from the Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything playset– got that on EBay.
Have fun making your cake!!
Wow! I just ran across this when I Googled “Pirate cake”. This is fantastic! You should be so proud!
