Learn how to make a realistic 3D Galleon/Pirate Ship Cake.
“Ahoy, Mateys!” Watch Chef Yener as he creates this amazing 3D Galleon/Pirate Ship Cake. This lengthy tutorial is jam packed with full of tips and techniques like how to make realistic sails, how to create a wooden texture, how to create the decorative balustrades, how to make the ocean waves, ropes, masts, crows nests, and plenty more! The course material also includes blueprints for a smaller size ship. This cake could also be made as a 3D Pirate Ship Cake.
DISCLAIMER: Before purchasing or watching this tutorial, please note that in this tutorial, Serdar uses styrofoam blocks as the cake parts. This is simply because he wanted to keep this galleon cake as a show piece after he created this tutorial. Making this galleon cake using real cake would involve cutting real cake in the same size shapes as the styrofoam blocks shown in this tutorial. The course material for this tutorial contains actual size templates and blueprints as well as guides on how to cut and form the cake parts of this piece to match the styrofoam blocks that are shown in the tutorial. If you need to be shown, step by step, with video, exactly how to cut the cake in the same shapes as the styrofoam blocks that have templates provided in the course material, this tutorial may not be for you. This is an expert level tutorial and will require some 3D cake making experience.
Is there any way to attach the sails without using the string? I would like to attempt this for a competition but can only use edible mediums. Thank you!
Szia Serdar! Azt szeretném kérdezni, hogy a rétegek között nem kell alátámasztani, hogy ne nyomják össze a rétegek egymást? Vagy a csoki bevonat megtartja? Csak amatör tortázó vagyok. Nagyon örülök, hogy részese lehetek a bemutatóidnak. Rengeteget tanulok Tőled! Köszönöm
Fordítom a kérdést, de nem értettem, mit ért
Szia! Az volt a kérdésem, hogy a torta rétegek ( emeletek) közé nem kell-e merevítés, hogy nem nyomják össze egymást? köszönöm 🙂
hi , I’m seeing the part two , and I have a question about , what do you uses to protect the real cake from the metal post ? thanks
Plastic straws. Thanks
I hate you!
My shoulders ache for tying all those sails, it feels like my arms are going to fall off.
And let’s not talk about the stress due to my clumsiness.
But it was worth it.
I just LOVE challenges and this galleon was a real challenge.
Thank you so much.
My galleon is going to Paris (France, not Texas) I just hope it will survive the 500 kms without breakage.
Good luck. Thanks
Thank you for this amazing tutorial and for posting the pictures of my galleon
Hello,
I am working on the galleon ship cake, and you advise a tray of starch for making the sails. I think you mean icing sugar or cornflour for this?? but both are a little expensive in bulk. Would ordinary plain flour do?
Many thanks – Dawn
Yes, the flour will do the job but it will take little longer to dry. Thanks
amazing as always, I use your techniques and am very grateful for your teaching
as an amateur I have surprised myself and family with cakes based on your teaching
Hello again chef, i was wondering,you always mention to add alcohol or water to chocolate to make it creamier. But chocolate seizes when it is combined with water, right?
AMAZING WORK as always!!! 🙂 What I like about this site is that the techniques are really practical and you make it look so easy for everyone! I learned so much from you, chef! A million thanks!!! 🙂
Thanks Anne, I am talking adding drops till you get some creaminess. You have to stop before seizes
Good Morning Serdar and Serkan. I am in the middle of preparing to recreate this cake. I am so enthusiastic now. Thanks to your tutorials I was already able to recreate cakes that I would have never imagined possible. Your guidance makes everything possible and that’s a talent within a talent.
As I was looking through the course material, another tutorial came back to me and I was wondering if it would be possible to use gelatine leaves for the windows and other glass imitation components of the ship? I remember you also saying that gelatine tends to soak up humidity, so that make me hesitate.
Also, being that I am all new to this I don’t have an air gun. Would I be able to use a little spray bottle or use brushes with a mix of powder and gel colours to recreate realistic colours? That’s what I have been doing thus far, however on much smaller components than this…
Good day Detail, yes definitely you can use gelatine leaves which have that quilt looking texture. Don’t worry about the humidity. Using only luster colors with a brush is good but don’t mix with gel colors. Good luck. I can’t wait to see the pictures.
THANK YOU, for posting this!! I have a Captain Morgan Galleon Ship to recreate in just a few weeks and this was just perfect timing. I also have to transport the cake 4 hours in a car, then another 1.25 via ferry, THEN on a golf cart! I guess you could say I’m a little nervous! lol
I’ll post photos, once it’s complete!
Thanks again, chef!
