I made this cake for my granddaughter's 4th birthday. She loved it!
I used i/2 sheet cake-marble for the ocean and the sand. Iced the ocean blue and the sand brown buttercream and I combined graham cracker crumbs and brown sugar for the sand. I used small pirate figures for the ship and the island. The treasures were made of candy coins, rock candy(diamonds), candy necklaces. I had candy chocolate pebbles and candy bones in the sand. I used a pirate ship cake mold(found online) Chocolate cake iced with chocolate buttercream.I iced it after I placed it on the sheet cake. I used 2 popsicle sticks for the plank. You could used a tongue blade. I found disney pirate characters to put on the ship.
