The ARRRRRRmadas!

I know Talk Like a Pirate Day is a ways away, but I figured I'd share these since the topic came up after the Dark Helmet post.

Those look Good Enough to Eat! ;)
And lots of fun.
I take it the ships are a cake pan you have. My daughter has a ton of Wilson cake pans. They make things so much easier.
But using them to create something so much more, is where the real genius lies.
Nope, I don't have it, but the daughter does. Your type never ceases to amaze me with what you can do.

They're fun to make, but it's a big job to get them all done!
The pan is a modified bundt from NordicWare.
The Wilton ones were all too 2D & a bit flimsy for what I wanted to do.
Don't feel too bad...My parents are still baffled as to where my artistic panache came from. ;-)

Very cool stuff. It's a work of art, so I don't know that I would want to eat it. Also, I love the ARRRRmada part (by the way, did you mean the black one was dARRRRRk chocolate?).

You said all but the masts & sails were edible - were the gold coins chocolate?

[dylia]

DaRRRRRk chocolate, indeed!
The coins were Geld, so mostly edible, anyway.
Honestly, I was so exhausted (read: nearly falling over from low blood sugar) by the time I finished the island display that I'd all but forgotten the coins were even there.

Amazingly, the whole island--except the volcano which was gifted to someone--was gone by the end of the night!

Side note: I just noticed your Eddie Izzard "Cake or Death" gif/avatar/whatever it's called, and I am awarding you some awesome points.

[dylia]

Well, THAT'S certainly encouraging! ;-D
Now where did I put that tally book?

P.S. I think the technical term is "animated gif icon," but whatever works.
