The outrageous Pippi (Longstocking) Pirate Cake
Having had "baker's block" all week dear daughter asked for chocolate cake in her birthday cake, in other words the same cake I make every year. So it's up to me to make it a bit more outrageous than usual since it's a Pippi Longstocking cake as much as it's a pirate cake.
I've baked 2 moist chocolate cakes in 4 x 8" tins to make a very high 4 layer cake. I put the first on the cake board and iced it. I cut a hole in the next 2 layers. Then I cut one of the holes into 2 layers and placed one half in the bottom of the first ring so the candy filling doesn't get sticky from the icing. Then I filled the hole with smarties, m&m's and chocolate gold coins surprise-treasure-style.

Add the third layer with a hole and fill it up, not all the way, you still have to fit the cut hole-layer on top. Ice and top with the last fourth layer. Done!.
Here it is crumb-coated. Now wish me luck with making a fondant icing large enough to cover it nicely!
