Yaarrr- Birthday Ahoy

For me matey Rach’s b-day, thar be a pirate cake ahoy.

This cake was so much fun to make! The sand is crushed ginger sandwich cookies (from Trader Joe’s). The creme filling gave it a little moisture and much better consistency than ginger snaps, which also would have worked. Swedish fish, decorative candles, and a piping gel treasure map completed the look. I spent so much time on the outside I don’t even remember what kind of cake is inside. On vacation at the beach- something from a box I bet! (*wink wink)
