arrrgghhh, the Pirate Cake!!

Susie (my awesome mother-in-law) threw a little end of summer pirate party for all her grandkids and asked me to do a cake. It was my first oportunity to try a carved cake, and while it did end up cute and fun, I had to make it a sinking/breaking pirate ship because my carving skills need A LOT of work. But it was delicious and everyone seemed to love it anyway.
