Kid's Birthday Pirate-Themed Cake

This was a fun little cake that we did for a kid's birthday party.  The figurines were purchased online by the person who got the cake.  For the other decorations, we used red fondant to cut the X, the lines, and the number 5.

The pearls were edible white sixlets, which you can typically find at Hobby Lobby or similar.  We also used various sizes of decorator sugars to give it a pretty dusting on top.

The bases are done in buttercream, which we prefer to use because it just tastes yummier.

You will want to stick the little figurines in when the icing is fresh and soft or you will want to put a fresh spot of icing under the base of each and then press them into the cake.

Happy crafting!
