I'm making this cake for my son's 8th Bday party, With help of a friend we chose a Pirate theme..
Decided to make a pirate ship in water...

Iced the cake and gave it a wavy look

added "sand" crushed cinnamon graham crackers

Made the sails of the ship out of gumpaste mixed with fondant.

Shaped the ship out of rice crispy treats..

covered the ship with chocolate fondant..

The ship is done !

I get asked a lot.. How do you make your rice crispy treats? I say very simple :)

At first, before trying it I thought ... Ah what a mess it would be..

Then there is that recipe on the Rice Crispy Cereal, I decided to try it. The best way to learn it is by remembering these simple numbers :) 2,4,6

Your ingredients will be in this order:

Butter -2 tablespoons

Mini Marshmallows- 4 cups

Rice Crispy Cereal - 6 cups

That will help you remember what goes first and so forth..

Directions-

1) In a pot on medium heat melt 2 tablespoons of butter.. when melted spread around evenly in pot.

2) Add 4 cups of mini marshmallows and stir occasionally until melted, When marshmallows are melted turn of stove and remove from heat.

3) Finally to melted marshmallows add 6 cups of you rice crispy cereal, mix well

You are DONE.

Tip: When you pour your mix out make sure to use wax or parchment paper on cookie sheet to avoid sticking.

Use PAM or butter spray on you hands so mix wont stick to you and its easier to mold.. decorate etc..
