Coolest Pirate Ship Birthday Cake

First, for this Pirate Ship Birthday Cake, I baked a 9×13 cake and lightly frosted it blue (two different blues swirled together make an awesome effect). Then I baked two 9 inch round cakes and cut them each in half. Glue them together with frosting, flat side to flat side, and place on cake, round side down (secure together with toothpicks or skewers if you want).

Frost brown, making wooden-looking lines on the sides. Decorate using the pirouette cookies (don’t forget the cannons!). For sails I used off-white resume paper and skewers. You can print out a pirate flag for the tall, middle sail or buy a painted wooden flag at the craft store. Finish off by adding waves up onto the boat with your blue frosting. Chocolate rocks also add a nice border.
