Festa Pirata / Pirate Party

Que un pirata faci 6 anys no passa tots els dies, així que quan va arribar l'aniversari del Capità Biel vem convidar tots els seus grumets. Va ser una festa pirata molt divertida, amb jocs d'aigua (és clar, quan hi ha tempesta dalt del vaixell pirata, et mulles), jocs d'equips i de pirates, i finalment vem trobar el tresor amagat i ens el vem menjar (ups! és que eren llaminadures!!!)

That a pirate turns 6 doesn't happen every day, so when Captain Biel's birthday arrived we invited all his fellow sailors over. It was a very cool pirate party, with water games (of course, when there is a storm onboard a pirate ship, sailors get very wet), team and pirate games, and finally we found the hidden treasure and we ate it up (ups! this is because it was all candy!!!)

Bé, per agafar forces vem haver de berenar de valent, així que vem tenir cupcakes pirata, entrepans, quiche, i fruita fresca.

To get some energy we needed a big snack, so we had pirate cupcakes, sandwiches, quiche and fresh fruit.

Els cupcakes pirata eren de vainilla amb ganache de xocolata, senzills però boníssims. Els toppers els vaig tunnejar amb el nom del Capità a partir d'uns imprimibles que vaig trobar a pequeocio.com i que vaig imprimir en fulls d'enganxina. Un cop retallades les enganxines no només les vaig fer servir en els toppers dels cupcakes, sinó també per personalitzar els gots i les bosses de la festa. Va quedar genial.

The pirate cupcakes were vanilla cupcakes with chocolate ganache frosting, simple but delicious. The toppers were edited with the name of the Captain from the printables I found at pequeocio.com and that I printed on sticker paper. Once the stickers were cut out I used them to make the toppers and also to personalize the party glasses and bags. They came out great.

El pastís pirata el vaig fer amb tres capes de pa de pessic, merenga suïssa de nabius com a farcit i cobertura,  i llavors cobert i decorat amb fondant. La inspiració per al pastís pirata va ser d'internet també, si escriviu "pirate cake" a imatges de google, us apareixeran milers de pastissos fantàstics.

The pirate cake was made with three layers of sponge cake filled and covered with blueberry Swiss buttercream and then all covered and decorated with fondant. The inspiration for the pirate cake came out from internet too, if you write "pirate cake" in google images, you'll come out with thousands of pictures of fantastic cakes.

Les galetes pirata, que per cert, vaig oblidar de treure el dia de la festa, amb la feina que em van donar i tan boniques que van quedar!!! són galetes de mantega decorades amb glassa reial basant-me amb les galetes pirata de la genial sweet sugar belle. Haurien funcionat com a regal per als grumets convidats si hagués recordat de donar-les!!! Bé, a l'endemà el Capità i la sots-capitana se les van endur al Casal d'estiu com a esmorzar i van trionfar :)

The pirate cookies, which I forgot to take out on the day of the party by the way, with all the work I had to make them this pretty!!!, were butter cookies decorated with royal icing and inspired on the cookies by the great sweet sugar belle. They would have worked as a gift for the sailors invited to the party, if I had remembered to give them out!!! Well, the following day Captain and viceCaptain took them to Summer Camp for breakfast and were a great success :)
