Treasure Chest Pirate Cake
I was originally going to decorate the outside of the Twinkie and put all of the fun treats around the Treasure chest. It was my older son who suggested that I open the Twinkie and fill it.
Now, I can’t imagine it any other way.
It really makes the Treasure Chest so much more fun and yummy too!

Notes
Here’s where I found the fun ocean-themed candies…
Michael’s Craft store has the pearl sprinkles and the star wafers
The grocery store had the Blue Frosting (Funfetti) with fish candies on top
A Party Store would have chocolate coins – which I think would be a fun addition
