Treasure Map


Made for event where the theme was Pirates. I had carte blanche on this one so I had some fun. You can't really read the writing from this picture but I have Mermaid Rocks, Dead Man's Beach and Pirate Cove labeled. Hardest part? Getting those dang crumbs out of the water!

Read the blog post about this cake here.

amber - nope. Those are pretzels with buttercream frosting leaves. Just used a stiffer frosting than usual.
janell - Had to have a mermaid because it was for Girls' Camp. Thanks!

No, not toothpaste! I used piping gel. My niece thought I used toothpaste, because of the shade of blue. :)
