Sydney's Pirates of the Caribbean on Stranger Tides Cake
I was able to talk Sydney into a Pirates of the Caribbean cake for her 9th
birthday thinking I would get to make a cake based on the Disney ride. Not so
much, she wanted the mermaid scene of On Stranger Tides instead. Ah oh well, it
turned out great. The light tower is cake (12 boxes) with fondant and Queen
Anne's Revenge is Rice Krispie treats (7 batches) with fondant. Way too much to
eat. Hopefully you have seen the movie to appreciate the cake; I think we got
the entire scene summed up rather well. We found the figures at the store and
repurposed a few of them by cutting hair and clothes and repainting (group
holding the net). There was even a great light in the tower shining on the small
boat but got lost once we put the water on. All was good, party was fun and Syd
had a great time with her friends.
