Ayden has been on a pirate kick for a few months so we decided to have a pirate themed birthday party for him. Joel made really neat pirate treasure map invites for his friends and we put them in a glass bottle with sand and shells. I forgot to take a picture of it, so I will have to add that picture later. I also made pirate cake pops for the kids to take home after the party, I made Ayden his own mini pirate cake, and made pirate cupcakes for everyone else. It was a lot of work, but I love baking and decorating. I also made marshmallow fondant from scratch, and taught myself how to decorate with fondant since I have never really used it. Luckily, it wasn't too hard. I would really like to take some cake decorating classes someday soon. I had a lot of fun making everything and Ayden was pretty impressed! :)
Pirate cake pops!
If anyone knows of a good edible ink pen/marker that actually works, please let me know! This is the second different brand I have tried, and it stopped working after doing five faces. I had to resort to dipping the end of the pen in black food coloring which never really dried and ended up smearing a lot.
