This cake was fun and easy , I made it from two sheet cakes stacked ,cut the end off and two angles off the front ,used those for the bow ,used the end that I had cut off and curt them in half again and stacked them on the back , used dowels to hold it together , and dowels for the sails . my son had some imaginext ships whip I used some pieces from but it really didnt need them but he liked it soo I did. I used canned chocolate frosting for the whole cake , for more info send a message through this site.
