As some of you who follow these sorts of things may know, Talk Like a Pirate Day is just two weeks (Sept. 19) away (what, you mean to tell me that this isn't a holiday you celebrate in your household?). I wasn't actually planning on posting about it here until I stumbled across the recipe and design instructions for a Pirate Ship Cake and realized that it was a match made in heaven. Now, I haven't made this recipe personally, so I have no idea how hard or easy it is to create at home, but from the picture it seems pretty darn cool.

I got a laugh out of the decoration instruction that says, "plastic pirate figures washed thoroughly". I'd like to thank them for that important reminder.

Actually I made this cake last year for "International Talk Like a Pirate Day". It wasn't difficult to make but I wasn't able to find
everything so I ended up using kit kats for the sides of the boat.

A pirate walked into a bar and bartender was startled to see that he had his ship's wheel stuck down his pants. The bartender said,
"Do you know you have a wheel in your pants?"
The pirate replied,
"Yarrrr, it's driving me nuts"

I'm confused about how they achieved the boat shape using two round cakes. Can anyone help explain the process of cutting and stacking the cakes?

Stephanie...Cut the round cake in half and stack them together (bottom sides together makes it easier I find). So now, you have a cake two layers thick, with a flat side and a rounded side. Take your serrated knife and look at the rounded side - and cut away enough of that part to allow the cake to stand up...to the cake will kind of resemble a "u" with the bottom missing. Hope that helps.
