Hi there! in this video tutorial I show you how to make a pirate ship cake by sculpting a boat cake from scratch. It really is a simple introduction to cake sculpting, no need to be a professional cake decorator (well, you wouldn't be watching my humble tutorial if that was the case now, would you?). All you need is a knife, a couple of ball tools, a few cutters, an exacto or craft knife and you're pretty much set (I know I mention a few other tools like my bendy blade but these are not essentials). The recipes for this cake are the same as for my decadent chocolate fudge cake video tutorial so you can check out the link below for that, however the quantities are different.
Here is the recipe:
See • Decadent Chocolate Fud... for my chocolate fudge cake recipe instructions. Quantities for a 9" square cake pan are as follows:
360g Plain Flour
96g Cocoa Powder
432g Castor Sugar
5 Tsp Baking Powder
264g Butter
5 Eggs
320ml Whole Milk
3 Tbsp Strong Coffee
Pinch of Salt
Chocolate Fudge Icing:
110g Butter
90g Dark / Plain Chocolate
3 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
425g Icing Sugar
175ml Whole Milk with A Dash of Vanilla Extract (if desired)
Chocolate Ganache
300g Dark Chocolate
300ml Double Cream
If you make this awesome cake then you can share any photos you take with me on Instagram - I'd be super-excited to see them! Don't forget to let me know what you thought of this video in the comments below, as well as any ideas for future videos that you'd like me to cover.
I really hope that you enjoy this video and find it useful! If you do then don't hesitate to give it a thumbs up, share it with your friends and subscribe for more videos!
*ALERT!! MY POSTING SCHEDULE HAS CHANGED!!*
I now post one video every fortnight on a Thursday evening, mainly about my parenting journey and the hints & tips I’ve found helpful along the way, especially with two young children close in age. I also share some of my home hacks for storage, organisation and other useful ideas, as well as some day in the life vlogs too.
Thank you so much for watching! See you soon.

Hi Rainy, I hadn't made a children's cake for 25 years so when my son asked me to make a pirate ship cake for his little daughter's fifth birthday - I said ....you had better have a back up plan! But thank you so much for your tutorial video . It was brilliant and it works. Took hours but lots of fun and we were all thrilled with the results. So bless you for sharing your skills. Thank you x

Hi Rainy Thank you for the great tuturial, how long, how long before a party can I bake and decorate this cake?

@RainyJohnson 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Erica, thank you so much for your comment 😊 so you can bake the chocolate cake weeks in advance then as soon as they're out, give them about 30 mins or so to cool then you can wrap them in cling film (plastic wrap) and a layer of foil (aluminium wrap) if you like and store it in your freezer until you need it. I wrap mine whilst they're still fairly warm as this tends to keep my cakes naturally moist. Then when you're ready to decorate it, defrost it thoroughly then you'll be able to frost your cake, carve it and decorate it as shown in the video. I tend to decorate my cakes 1-2 days before they're needed as the fondant and ganache layer protect the cake from drying out. I hope this helps. Happy baking!! 😊 Rxxx

This looks amazing! How much fondant do you need roughly?

@RainyJohnson 10 ай бұрын

Hi, thank you for watching my video. It's been a while since I made it but I think I would have used 1-2 packs (250g each pack) of brown fondant for this project. 1 would probably do it but I like to err on the side of caution. I hope this helps 😊 love Rainy xxx

Hi Rainy - how many do you think this serves? Tia

@RainyJohnson 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Tia, I would say that this size of cake would serve around 15-20 people depending on the size of your slices and whether they were children or adults eating. If you needed it to serve more you could use a bigger square cake pan and incorporate the 4th rectangle of cake (I only used ¾ of the 9" cake for my recipe)? It'd just be a taller ship. Or you could bake some cupcakes to go with the main cake? I hope this helps. Rxxx

Well, it just so happens I have another kids cake in the pipeline 😊 I'm so sorry I haven't put a video up for a while - we've had a bout of sickness in out family and a ton of things on, so finding time has been difficult. But I will hopefully have my next video up by next week. Thanks so much for watching! Love Rainy xxx

The camera never showed what you was doing so it was very frustrated

@RainyJohnson 2 жыл бұрын

Hiya, thank you for your feedback. Yes, there was a point in my filming where my phone stopped recording and I didn't realise. So unfortunately some aspects were not filmed so I had to just describe what I did instead of being able to show it. But I will do my best to clearly film each aspect of my cake decorating process for future. Best wishes, Rainy xxx

Apologies for these comments - Video way too fast, your heads gets in the way, you cannot see properly how it is constructed, should have done the video from the front not the top of your head - beautiful cake though :)

Thank you for your feedback, it's really helpful to see how I can improve my videos 😊 This was in our old house where I had limited kitchen space, but I am hoping to have a better setup in our new house. Best wishes, Rainy xxx ❤️
