Now you build with one of the box shapes and something Alufolio a cabin. For this you narrow the box shape with the aluminum foil to a small area (see photo). Alternatively, you can of course also use a small rectangular baking pan. &# 128578;
Now fill the created rectangle with some dough.

My advice:
I never actually grease the molds, I use baking paper instead. So after baking you don’t have as much chaos in the kitchen or to do the dishes. &# 128521;

After baking, let the cake cool well. Then you cut with a Knife on one side of the cake left and right slightly from the cake, so that one "Top" (bug of the ship) arises.

Now you warm the chocolate icing in a water bath. When the glaze has become completely liquid, you "stick" it cabin with this to the deck of the ship (on the side that you have not worked on) and then coat the entire ship with the glaze. &# 128578;

My advice:
The chocolate at Max. Melt at 35 ° C. If it is heated too hot, the chocolate coating may later become unsightly white Points gets.

On the sides of the pirate ship made of chocolate cake, carefully push smarties into the still liquid chocolate glaze, so that small portholes are created.
