Fondant Ship Pictorial (Jake and the Neverland Pirates)
Below is a pictorial on how I made the fondant ship above. This ship was made as an accessory for Twin Jake and the Neverland Pirates Cakes. This is one of the most elaborate fondant pieces I have executed to date. I will try to provide little notes where I deem necessary.
The entire ship was constructed with marshmallow fondant with a few floral wires where needed. The whole process involved a lot of drying and waiting. What I tired to achieve below was a replica of the ship in the series. It might help to have a picture of the ship to use as reference.
PICTORIAL:
Shape fondant into a block and allow to dry for about a day so it is firm enough to carve
Carve base of ship
Lay wood grain fondant on top of base of ship and cut out excess fondant.
Stick front ship panel. The panel was made at the same time as the base for the ship, floral wires were inserted into it and it was allowed to dry. To stick, use melted white chocolate as well as the floral wires. Also Insert rail pillars for ship. Use floral wires to hold pillars to the ship. Pillars were made using a pearl mold.
Glue support for main mast on ship.
Insert mast into ship. The mast was made earlier on and allowed to dry. A thick floral wire was passed through it and inserted into the ship.
Stick back portion on ship. The back portion was also made earlier on and left to dry. Other details were then added to it.
Place dry slab on the back of ship. Floral wires were inserted underneath it and used to hold the slab to the ship.
Place circle on top of the mast.
Roll out a yellow string of fondant and stick to the ship.
Complete mast with other elements. These were made earlier on and left to dry.
Sale was made earlier on and left to dry.
Finally, stick sail to the ship along with the fondant bars. Brush the “wooden” parts with shortening and the rest of the cake with vodka. Below are several views of the ship. Happy caking!
