craftgrrl | Pirate Cake

Every year we have a costume party on Talk Like a Pirate Day and every year I make this cake: http://familyfun.go.com/recipes/special/cake/cake_pirateship/ Apparently every year something terrible is going to happen to it. Last year the layers didn't stick together because I forgot to put it in the freezer, so once I had it all done and frosted it just fell apart. This year it was perfect. I was on my way to the party and dropped it upsid-down on the sidewalk. I guess there's always next year...
