Pirate Hat Cake

Published by admin on October 16, 2009

Ask any birthday buccaneer if he wants a piece of this swashbuckling cake, and you’ll get a resounding, “Aye, matey!” Surround it with chocolate coins for an even more treasured treat.

Ingredients

• 2 (8-inch) round chocolate cakes
• 2 (16-ounce) cans chocolate fudge frosting
• White decorators’ frosting

Instructions

1. Pirate Hat Cake – Step 1 Use a long serrated knife to trim the tops of the cakes to flatten them, if needed. Spread a thin layer of chocolate frosting over the trimmed side of one cake, then lay the other cake on top, trimmed side down.
2. Pirate Hat Cake – Step 2 Cut one side from the stack. Cut this piece in half and assemble the hat. Spoon 1/4 cup of the chocolate frosting into a resealable sandwich bag, set it aside, and use the rest of the frosting to cover the cake.
3. With white decorators’ frosting, add a skull and crossbones, and hat trim. Snip a corner from the bag of chocolate frosting and pipe on the skull features. Serves 12.
