Cake "Pirate": design ideas, cooking tips

Are you going to arrange a children's party or party in pirate style? So, you can not do without a cake! What will it be like? Perhaps you represent the pirate cake as a ship with sails? Or maybe it's a treasure chest? Or a funny pirate face with an earring in the ear and a bandage through the eye? Let's look at a few popular ideas that can be implemented independently. And at the same time we will talk about those materials with which you can decorate pastries.

Crusts

Convenient in the work of a biscuit. From it, you can easily cut out the details of the desired shape and glue them together with a cream. It is perfectly impregnated with syrups and is combined to taste with meringue, butter cream, fruit, jelly, chocolate and many other products that we can use in decoration. Cake "Pirate" can be baked on the basis of the favorite recipe "Zebra", because children's desserts should be beautiful not only from the outside, but also inside.

Great idea - Brownie recipes. A rich chocolate flavor and taste will make a worthy party with an unusual design. And the addition of coconut chips to the dough will transfer to the atmosphere of tropical islands, which all pirates love so much.

But with layered cakes is hardly worth experimenting with. They are too fragile for our purposes. Hardly it will be possible to collect a cake "Pirate" and on the basis of the meringue recipe. In a word, choose a recipe that produces stable, lush cakes.

Pirate schooner

Perhaps, this option can safely give the first position of the top. Cake "Pirate Ship" will be the main dish of your party.

Do not be afraid of his intricate form. Collect it is not difficult. This is done approximately like this:

In the work you will find useful bamboo rods, skewers, which not only act as masts and flagpoles, but also give the elements of the ship an additional fixation. And for the design of the deck is best to use an oil chocolate cream. Although suitable and well-known mastic, which will need to be painted in brown. It is also useful in order to make figurines for cake, because our schooner is a combat ship, not a ghost ship.

And how to make a flag? Everything is very simple. For sails and banners suitable rolled in the mastic or plain paper. On it, by the way, you can write congratulations to the originator of the celebration.

Pirates' Treasures

An excellent option for those to whom the ship seems too complicated. Still, the laconic form of the chest is simpler, and such a dessert looks just as impressive. Cooking it really easier. For this we need rectangular cakes. Of these, we collect the base of the chest, which is generously coated with chocolate cream. With the help of a toothpick, do a lot of small strips - so the surface will look like wood. To fill the chest, we will stock up sweets in the form of gold coins, beads from dragees, confectionery decorations "pearls". And who said that all pirates appreciate only gold and precious stones? Maybe someone more like a chest filled with M & M's sweets? Such a cake will look just as great!

It remains to cover and generously cover it with cream. From the mastic, tinted in yellow, you can build a lock and upholstery of corners.

Himself

The next cake "Pirate" will appeal to those who do not like mastic. Honestly, it's easier to cook! We need a confectionery bag or a syringe with a nozzle. And for a basis we shall take any favorite recipe on which we will prepare a round-shaped cake.

First we put on the sides and top cream white, beige, pink or light chocolate color. Its surface is simply leveled with a silicone spatula. And then using a confectionery bag, squeeze a cream of contrasting color to make a bandana. To draw a face, you can do with a small amount of melted chocolate. From it we'll make a bandage for the lost pirate eye.

Jolly Roger

Another spectacular dessert that does not require the creator of the diploma of a culinary high school is the "Pirate flag" cake.

In this case, the cook's job is solely to create the banner itself with "Jolly Roger" and localize it on any cake. Do you want to achieve maximum believability? Use black and white mastic. To maximize the effect, before drawing a flag, practice drawing the skull on paper, and then cut out the details and use them as a pattern.

Do not forget that the pirate flag is not a registered brand and nobody forces it to be black. You can make it orange, pink, purple. Especially happy with this design, young pirates. By the way, how can I not remember the flowers of sugar tortoises! They fully fit into the pirate concept.

Treasure Island Map

An excellent option may be a cake "Pirate" in the form of a card. Do not try to repeat on it the outlines of the terrestrial continents, it is better to think up something of your own. To make the sea smooth, jelly from blueberry, which is bred twice as hard as the manufacturer recommends in the instructions on the pack, is perfect. And the continents and mountains can be laid out in green or yellow cream.

Fantasize and experiment, then the result will definitely please you.
