Here There Be Pirate Ship Cakes! ARRRR!!!

My Nephew (and Godson) Evan turns 8 this upcoming Wednesday and we had a birthday party for him this past Sunday. When asked what kind of party he wanted he replied "Cars" (you know, the movie with Lightning McQueen?), then he went to visit Aunt Kathy's house and Erin took Henry the Cockatiel out of his cage and placed him on Evan's shoulder. "Evan the Pirate" got a great idea for his birthday part theme...A PIRATE PAARRRRRTY!!!!

I brought the pirate napkins, cake plates and pirate tattoos! Annie brought the booty, the spy glasses and the "Piece de Resistance!" : A PIRATE SHIP BIRTHDAY CAKE!

All done by hand and through her own creativity, Annie created an awesome Birthday cake. Root beer barrels and Hershey chocolate bars finished off the deck, while a Reeses peanut butter cup served as the "Crow's Nest" on the center Mast. The Captain is at the helm, navigating through a sea of blue rasberrry Jello and swedish fish! She really out-did herself!

Great pics from Lamby!! It was a great day and fun was had by all. And yes, I have already put in my order for a "Pyramid in the desert" themed Birthday cake for November!!!
