Sunken Treasure
This was the birthday cake for my BIL. He told me once that when he were a little boy he adored pirate ships but never got one. So now he has. It is from Debbie Browns book "Enchanted cakes for children". It was fun to do but I had problems with the modelling paste. I made it by kneading tragacanth into MMF but it wouldn´t get hard. That´s why the railng cracked. However he liked his ship very much.

Ariel
I made this cake for my nieces birthday. It´s a "Sachertorte" with "Parisercreme" (ganache which ist whipped after been refrigerated one night - makes it fluffy) covered in MMF. Corals and seaweed is royal icing. The big shell Ariel sits on is marzipan. Thanks to everybody who posted a mermaid cake on this site for the inspiration.
