Hand Painted Treasure Map To Go With Pirate Chest Mini Cakes
This was for a 5th birthday. Mom requested a treasure map and some mini treasure chests without a terribly "pirate-y" theme. This is a 9x13 with buttercream under a hand painted treasure map. Birthday boy loved ! The board was large enough to add 16 mini treasure chests around the centerpiece map.
