Today we had Trevor's 4th birthday party celebration with all of his friends at one of those ball pit, slides and cargo net climbing places. Yes, Tylenol is needed but boy oh boy do the kids have fun.
Trevor wanted a pirate party! Arrr! So, we took the theme to heart, dressed like pirates, decorated in pirate fashion and yes, ate pirate cake and cupcakes.
The cupcakes and cake can be made with your favourite chocolate cake recipe and the icing can be a simple buttercream that you colour to your pirate bandana preference. I used my favourite vegan recipes as Trevor does better without egg and dairy so if you want the recipe, you can email me for it as it is from a favourite cookbook of mine. As for the eyes, eye patch and smiles... they are simply melted chocolate placed in a piping bag. Throw on a plastic eye patch and fake earring from the Dollar Store and you've got yourself one cute cake.
Next time you want to have a pirate themed party, go for the gold and make this easy pirate cake accompanied by pirate mate cupcakes. They really are easy to make and the kids absolutely love them. :-)
