Talk Like a {Fondant} Pirate!

Ahoy, me hearties! Do you buc­ca­neers know that today be “Talk Like a Pirate Day”?!

Pirates con­tin­ue to be an extreme­ly promi­nent theme for chil­dren’s par­ties, cakes and cup­cakes due to the pop­u­lar­i­ty of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies and “Jake and the Nev­er­land Pirates” ani­mat­ed tele­vi­sion series. The beau­ty of this theme is that it’s enter­tain­ing {unlike real pirates!}, there are end­less par­ty activ­i­ties and dec­o­ra­tion ideas and boys AND girls of ALL ages can par­take in the fun!

I made these swash­buck­lin’ spuds for Dreamin’ N Details for her son’s Mr. Pota­to the Pirate par­ty! The fon­dant top­pers were inspired by adorable cus­tom print­a­bles by Pig­gy Bank Par­ties for the theme that merged the birth­day boy’s desire to be a pirate and love of his favorite toy!

Shiv­er me tim­bers! I made these fon­dant cup­cake top­pers for a dear friend whose son was turn­ing one with a pirate-themed cel­e­bra­tion. It was fun to make the fon­dant map with some edi­ble mark­ers, which could even be a fun activ­i­ty for the kids!

Walk the Plank! Pure Joy Events fea­tured her sis­ter-in-law, Thuy’s amaz­ing Pirate Par­ty thrown for her son and daugh­ter, demon­strat­ing the abil­i­ty to appeal to both boys and girls! I pro­vid­ed these cake and cup­cake fon­dant top­pers to match the theme, incor­po­rat­ing both three-dimen­sion­al and flat designs.

The fab­u­lous Mil­lion Dol­lar $mile Cel­e­bra­tions threw a gor­geous Vin­tage Dis­ney­land Park par­ty for her daugh­ter and I had the plea­sure of mak­ing some fon­dant cup­cake top­pers to resem­ble some of the icon­ic Fan­ta­sy­land rides, includ­ing this Peter Pan design. You can’t think of this clas­sic sto­ry with­out visu­al­iz­ing Cap­tain Hook and the Nev­er­land pirates!

And speak­ing of Peter Pan, our fam­i­ly loves this clas­sic sto­ry, which com­bined with the 2004 movie “Find­ing Nev­er­land”, pro­vid­ed tons of inspi­ra­tion for my daugh­ter’s Find­ing Nev­er­land 4th birth­day par­ty! We includ­ed pirate hooks, inflat­able swords, scarves, eye patch­es and booty inside stained trea­sure box­es for guests to plun­der and plen­ty of swash­buck­lin’ fun!

Blimey! You want more pirate dessert inspi­ra­tion?! Then bat­ten down the hatch­es and head on over to the Craft­sy blog to check out my round-up of  cakes, cup­cakes and sweets to please any aspir­ing buc­ca­neer! And fol­low the path to Pin­ter­est for addi­tion­al par­ty ideas from some ship­shape and amaz­ing par­ty peeps! ♥
