CELEBRATE - Pirates

For my nephew's 13th birthday, he felt he was too grown up to have a big party and do the whole theme thing, but we had to celebrate. So we decided on dinner  and a movie - that weekend Pirate of the Caribbean was opening so that's what we went to see and so the theme was found.

I create a 4 layer 6" round skull and crossbones cake and used the extra cake better to make cupcakes. I created the skull and crossbones by sculpting fondant.

 

Red tableware and skull napkins made the table look fun. I added a pennant banner with red , black & white stripe, and treasure map printed paper to make the event festive.

Amazingly, I pulled this all together in a couple of days. It probably a good thing that I didn't have more time, or I would have gone totally overboard! (No pun intended)

P.S.  I just found this link that has a cute pirate party and other cute ideas for boys parties.
