The original cake. Here's my disclaimer: It was 97degrees and our A/C was not working. the chocolate fondant was sweaty so I added more sugar, which made it crumbly... this cake was the death of me!!!! I had a hard time getting the fondant smooth, it was late at night and the party was at 9am...there was no going back. The kids loved it though. My daughter wanted a pirate Izzy party with a chocolate treasure chest cake. For the friend party the kids ate the top of the chest. |

The revised cake. For the family party I rearranged the treasure and we had it again. I used a chocolate cake mix and substituted the oil with applesauce, then added another tablespoon of cocoa and a teaspoon of vanilla to mask the apple taste. The cake was very moist! I covered it in chocolate buttercream, then in fondant. |
Izzy Pirate Party activities:
