Each of his kid cakes has to be cool and unique. This year for his 9th, we did the Pirate theme. I baked a Shipwreck Island cake complete with a spooky island and waterfall and even a wrecked ship with pirates looking for the gold. I used a large sheet cake pan for the base and then baked two cakes in loaf pans which I used to make the raised portions of the island. I sculpted out the waterfall and used canned icings and piping gels for the water. For the ship, I used a chocolate cake mix which I baked in 2-layer round pans. I filled and iced the cake with chocolate icing and then carved it into a boat shape and stood the slices on end and placed it wrecking into the island. You can complete your creation by adding plastic pirate figures, trees, gold-wrapped Rolo candy booty, Pepperidge Farm Pirouette cookies for cannons, and gold-wrapped pirate chocolate coins. Even the sails on the ship are edible rice paper. And don't forget the skeleton! No self-respecting Pirate's Island is complete without one. Here are the detailed instructions: You'll need: * 1 baked 11 x 15-inch sheet cake * 1 loaf cake * 1 mini-loaf cake * 6 cups pure white or decorator icing * Yellow and green decorator spray * Blue piping gel * Edible blue glitter * Plastic pirates, trees, skeletons, boats (optional) * Rolo gold wrapped candy First of all, I started with an 11 x 15-inch sheet cake for the base of the island. A smaller sheet could be used for a smaller party. I then placed a loaf cake on top to make the raised/hilly portion of the island and a smaller loaf cake on the right side. I cut through the top of the larger loaf forming a trench down to the bottom of the sheet cake to make a waterfall effect. Round off the right corner of the loaf and trim off the top layer of the bottom-right corner of the cake where the waterfall joins, forming a pool. Ice the cake with decorator or pure white icing. I used a lot of icing because you want to spread it around and make it look like water and sand, and because it's gooey good! Next, I sprayed the island with yellow and green decorator spray, leaving the waterfall and pool area white. I used blue piping gel which I let ooze down the waterfall and into the pool area. Then I sprinkled on some edible blue glitter to make it extra shiny. Add trees, pirates and skeletons to your island and of course a treasure booty! I found the plastic pirates and trees and even the small boat online. The final touch is a green shell border around the base. Now for the ship! You'll need: * 2 baked 9-inch round cake layers * 3 to 4 cups chocolate icing * Chocolate wafer sticks * 3hocolate wafer rolls * Three 10-inch wooden skewers * Malted mik balls * Rolo gold-wrapped candies * Root beer barrels * Peppermint sticks * Candles * Plastic pirates I baked two 9-inch round chocolate cakes. After cooling them, you cut them in half and stand them on him so that you have the rounded sides all facing the same direction. Spread a thin layer of chocolate icing between them to keep them together. You will have 4 layers. You can use two drinking straws to pierce through the layers and hold them together if you wish but I didn't do this. Place the Pirate birthday cake on the right edge of the island in the pool, as if the ship is crashing into the island. Cover the cake with chocolate icing and use a butter knife to create planking lines. Use icing to anchor wafer sticks along the sides of the ship for gunwales along the edge of the deck. Use wafer rolls for cannons. I cut sails from edible rice paper which I purchased online, but you can also cut sails from regular paper. Slip them onto wooden skewers and set into place on the cake. Add malted milk ball candy, plenty of Rolo gold booty, and root beer barrels if you can find them. Place candles in the cannons. Use peppermint sticks around the deck if you like. Add your pirates and ARRGH!! You're ready!!! See less »
