Have fun with your kids making this special cake, and then teach them about portion control.

How to Frost A Cake

If the cake is very soft and crumbly, apply a “crumb coating” to prevent cake crumbs from mixing with the frosting. Spread a thin layer of frosting over the entire cake, then let stand 5 to 10 min. or until frosting is set. Spread remaining frosting over cake.

" What a cute cake! I made this for my daughter's 5 year old Pirate party. I ended up making 2 of them since one would probably feed 10-12 people. So easy to do. My kids helped out too. I made regular cake in a loaf pan instead of using store bought pound cake and it worked great. All of the kids, as well as the adults loved it. A couple people even asked where I ordered the cake from!"
