Treasure Chest
[Jake and the Never Land Pirates theme]
I got to make a cake for a friend's son's birthday party!
It was such fun to make and a great learning experience too!
I tried to make this cake resemble what the actual team treasure chest looks like on the tv show-- which I'm going to say I was successful at!
I snapped a shot with the flash up-close to get a nice picture of its glossy look!
The best part is probably the treasure inside or the M&M's spilling out after it was cut! Such fun!
Overall I was happy with how it turned out!
Trouble shooting notes: The chest ended up being extremely heavy. Under pressure, I had to use dowel rods to hold together a corner that tried to buckle out. So, next time when molding with cake and adding candy in the center, I will go with a pound cake or some type that is dense and can handle weight better.
