Pirate Party

Pirate Birthday Cake

All aboard the ghost ship of the high seas! We're seeing sail for a deserted island and we know hides a legendary buried treasure...ahoy maties! Make this wickedly cute pirate cake and create a dangerously adventuresome celebration for a gaggle of wild boys!

Tips from the Experts

Betty Crocker Cook - Andi Bidwell

"Cake pieces will be easier to handle if you freeze them on a cookie sheet for 30 minutes to an hour before frosting."

Party Invitations

  • Do-it-yourself invites are easy. Just make fold-up treasure chest invitations using paper from a craft store.
  • Hide a single chocolate coin inside the chest with all the important party info.

Party Decorations

  • Welcome pirate invitees into your pirate ship (home) with eye patches and bandannas to begin the fun.
  • Decorate a party table with treasure chests filled with gold chains and chocolate coins.
  • Place the decorated cake in the center of the table.

Party Games & Activities

  • Outfit the guest pirates with small plastic telescopes for treasure hunting.
  • Create a treasure map and clues for the pirates to follow, leading to a hidden "chest" (decorate a shoebox) filled with gold foil-covered chocolate coins.

Party Favors

  • Loot bags can hold gold coins, temporary tattoos and gummy fish for the trip home.

Food Fun

  • Let each 'pirate' pat out their own pizza dough and choose their own toppings for personalized pizzas.
  • Spiff up the Rum TumTum Pineapple-Ade by garnishing each glass with some maraschino cherries skewered on small plastic beverage swords.

The Day Before

  • Make and decorate Pirate Cake.
  • Make Buried Treasure Ice Cream. Line a muffin tin with black paper liners; place a candy sized chocolate peanut butter cup in bottom of each liner. Scoop vanilla ice cream on top. Freeze until party time.
  • Cut up carrots and celery sticks; store in resealable plastic bags in refrigerator.

The Day of Party

  • Prep the pizza dough ingredients and toppings in small bowls. Cover and refrigerate until you are ready to start the pizzas.

About 30 Minutes Before Party

  • Make Rum TumTum Pineapple-Ade; chill in refrigerator.
