A Pirate's Treasure




This is a birthday cake for our 4 year old nephew.  One layer of vanilla, one layer chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling.   The last picture was my first attempt at the ship, obviously the cake was too soft so I ended up making and sculpting rice cereal treats, then covered in fondant and decorated.  The treasure chest is also sculpted from rice cereal treats.  The colored treasure is ring pops and the clear silver I made from isomault sugar...they were clear and diamond like when I made them but a few days later they turned cloudy.  The sail is gum paste and the pirate/flag is lego toys.  The pirate head is chocolate that I was experimenting with.
