A pirate birthday cake for a bunch of young pirates! Yarrrr!
Wednesday, 4 November 2009
I've been hiding from the internet over the past few days. My son (five years old tomorrow) had a Pirate Birthday Party on Sunday. And the grandparents have been here to help celebrate.
So life has been chaos.
Half a dozen pirate friends came dressed for pirate party games, food, and silliness. As a parent doing a birthday party for the first time, I found the whole thing a bit hair raising. But it all went well.
I especially enjoyed making a Pirate Birthday Cake for my son. Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian pirate cake! Tricky, but not impossible. And it tasted and looked great!
Now the party is over, and I'll be taking the rest of the week off from music and blogging - to recover! I apologise for the break in transmissions.
Blame it on the pirates.
Yarrr!

What a magnificent cake. I like the wrapping paper you used for the sea.
And thank you for writing about jiffy pots - I planted out my first ever sugarsnap peas over the weekend. So easy with jiffy pots!

Wow! The cake is awesome.
Hi Darhaja,
That is one flash looking Pirate Ship.
It must have taken you ages to make and seconds for the Pirate Gang to destroy.
Enjoy your break, you deserve it.
I love your pirate cake! Really excellent, esp for your first party cake!
I agree with you, parties can be a bit stressful in the lead up, but while kids are kids they always seem to love the experience. Sounds like you got into the theme too LOL!
I love making my kids b'day cakes (even though I can get a bit stressed!) and they have always been very appreciated. Definitely a tradition I want to continue.
:)
Happy Belated Birthday to your son. The cake looks fantastic.
