This time I was approached for a girl pirate cake. I thought this to be good idea.
Bake two sponges - I made simple vanilla ones as the birthday girl was little picky .
Allow cake to cool and prepare the decoration. Start with the research - look up some pictures. Colour your icing - fondant. Fill sponges with jam and vanilla icing. Cover the cake with icing too and chill in the fridge until ready to cover it with fondant.
Make individual pieces from fondant and start to make a picture .
Compare the sizes so the figure is not out of proportions.
Pay attention to details - hair , eyes...
I made starfish out of fondant too - once you start to cut the cake it is nice to have a piece with something on it.
Allow the decoration to dry and cover the cake with fondant - I chose blue as the sea.
Place your decoration on the cake. I made a chest and some silver and gold coins too to write happy birthday on it.
Make icing with different colours and pipe the details on - eyebrows, lines on eyes, chest and coins.
