Jake and the Neverland Pirates -Treasure Chest- Birthday

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.
