About 2 mths ago while I was still on holiday back in the OZland.. I received an email from my loyal customer cum friend who wanted to organise a theme pary for her 10 years old son. I was like "YAYYY" as I totally loved doing a theme party and to have the chance to do a themed dessert table. She wasnt sure on what theme would be suitable. No problem.. I have lotss of ideas in my head waiting to burst out!! hehe.. so at first I suggested to her to do a "Picasso the Painter" theme.. I thought that would be fun, lots of colours, and theres so much to do in a painter theme party! But she wasnt so keen on the idea as the first thing that pop in her mind was "MESS" hehhehe.. fair enuff!! So then after a bit of brainstorming, I come up with "Pirate Theme".. as I believe its one of the easiest theme you can have. I mean in Malaysia, its hard to get all these party theme outfit and accessories and not to mention to get all your guests to really participate. So Pirate theme will be perfect as its easy enough to find a "stripes" shirts.. and swords, and hats.. and make your own mouthstache and eyepatch! So BINGO!! IDEAS SOLD!! yeah... time to rock n roll .. (*wottt..wottt..*..)
Whats the first thing to do?? OF COURSE...!! DECIDE ON THE MAIN CAKE!! and the rest will have to adjust!! So easy enough, she decided to have a 3D Pirate Ship Cake since she actually have a treasure box that she'll use it for the party,, so Treasure Box Cake was out!! Cupcakes was set right away to have those cute Pirate Face design! so yeah.. heres is the cake that I did! I actually underestimate the time to make this cake as it actually took almost 10 hours to do (excluding the time of making the figurines which I usually do 3 -5 days before). I was getting very tired when the cake was almost done and nope.. the sail is not even done yet!! *ARRGGHHHHHH...*** Usually when I get very tired, I get aggitated and so even the most simplest task seems hard! I tried to paint the ship to make it look a bit rustic but I was soo frustrated after doing it for 2 mins. Lucky me.. my hb volunteer to help and boy..was he good at it!! I was thrilled to see the end result and I dont think I could do half of the job he's done! so yeah.. Thank You HB... this cake is dedicated to you!! *grinn.. **wink**.. hahahaa...
Im actually very happy with the end result and I can honestly said to myself that I think this is one of my best 3D cake so far!! So thank you Jova.. for giving me the challenge..(AGAIN!!) hahaha.. and thank you HB for helping me making this cake! Your support is greatly appreciated!! :)))
