I made this pirate ship cake to look like Bucky from Jake and the Neverland Pirates. I started by baking 2 9×13 cakes and stacked them. Then for the stern, I baked 4 loaf cakes and stacked them, putting plastic dowels in every 2 layers to hold the weight. The steps up to the bow … Read more
I designed the cake by searching “treasure maps” on the internet and looking for the style with other pirate cakes. The island names were inspired by a set of small pirate candles found at the local party store (as was the larger treasure chest candle).
