This ship almost got scrapped cause we were following Horrible Directions in a cake book. It was basically saying to cut this in half, cut that in half, cut this in strips, etc. Was very confusing and made for a very unstable cake. We had to scrap 1/2 the cake cause it wouldnt stay on. It came out OK, I'm sure the kids will like it. Chocolate cake with fondant and fondant accessories.
