Gasparilla Day 2007- Rum Runner Krewe Cake

A 3D pirate ship I made for one of the krewes for Gasparilla. Gumpaste cannons, ship's wheel, cannon balls, plank, shark's fins, rope. Royal Icing fencing & water. Little lego guys. White Butter cake with a special filling (can't tell you) and Mocha Buttercream frosting. The DJ announced that "It was the best d__n cake he's ever tasted". Considering what it went through, one hour car ride, sitting in the hotel walk in overnight and a 30 minute bus ride to the parade route, it held up pretty well.

Lemme guess... grape cough syrup? :lol: Great looking cake! Love the Lego guys! The wood panel detail is very cool!

Not really, the worst part was not knowing how big to make some of the gumpaste things (a week in advance) when I wasn't sure how big the boat was actually going to end up being. It was really fun watching it take shape and coming together.
