The perfect cake for Talk Like a Pirate Day

a pirate ship made out of cake
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.

everything so I ended up using kit kats for the sides of the boat.

"Do you know you have a wheel in your pants?"

The pirate replied,

"Yarrrr, it's driving me nuts"

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.
