Aarrr!

Ahoy there me hearties! Aye, I know, I be a couple o' days late wi' me Talk Like A Pirate Day post, but it's only because I were too busy talkin' - and bakin' - like a buccaneer on the day itself!

We aboard The Pale Horse partied like pirates on t'evenin' o' the 19th - there was grub, wenches, rum and o' course plenty o' buried treasure! In honour o' the occasion, me little deckie an' I rustled up some pirattical treats...

There were little sandy island cupcakes, each with a teeny starfish, and either an X to mark the spot, or a Jolly Roger (made from sugarpaste). The cakes were chocolate, with rum-flavoured buttercream.

And o' course no pirate party would be complete aboard this ship without me decorated cookies!

The scurvy dogs looted an' pillaged 'em all quicker'n a pirate schooner after a well-laden Spanish galleon...and we can't wait until next year! : )
