This pirate themed cake starts off with the classic red and white striped tier topped with a blue tier in which I sculpted waves out of the same marshmallow fondant I made to cover the cake with. I then painted each wave to give them a little depth to help them stand apart from the tier. Next I topped that tier with a treasure map that I also hand painted to make it seem distressed. The treasure chest on top is entirely sculpted from rice crispy treats covered in fondant and hand painted. The jewels inside were actually purchased by the customer and I was asked to use them. I added certain special details like the little pirate girl that resembled the birthday girl that I sculpted from fondant and the personalized flag. For the sand I just simply used brown sugar
