Today's recipe was an improvised one. My little cousin Marc was turning five and, not having much time and all I was thinking of making some dinosaur cookies for his party and a normal chocolate cake. But it all changed with a phone call. My uncle (Marc's daddy) was preparing a Pirate-themed party and I quickly realized that my dinosaur cookies would be very out of place.
But then I began thinking and browsing Pinterest. I could do some pirate and starfish cookies.
And I did them.
I'm not exactly proud of the pirate ones but I absolutely loved the starfishes. Aren't they adorable? And very easy too, I just used a normal star cookie cutter and then I modified them myself, making them more starfish-like.
However I was not satisfied. A normal cake would simply not do and I started browsing Pinterest again taking advantage of my insomnia for once. And then I found it. A Pirate Ship, of course! Here you have the pins I got my ideas from: Pirate Ship Cake and Pirate cookies.
And this was the result. I bought a couple of gummy dolphins and some chocolate coins and that's it! It was a little bit rushed and if I had had more time I would have added more details but I did the cake in one morning and it was everything I could have hoped for.
Here it is the recipe and following up, a step-by-step of the ship construction!
