PostsThis is a cake that I made almost three years ago.
My daughter, like so many little girls, is crazy about princesses and dolls. For her sixth birthday she wanted a cake about princesses.
So we decided on a castle cake for her princesses.
To make the cake, I used my famous family recipe sponge cake for the main area of the castle. Then I made some cupcakes for the towers, each castle has to have towers!
To finish the towers, I used ice cream cones to create the conical shape of the castle tower roofs. My daughter wanted her castle to be pink and silver. So I used some pink icing around the edges and silver luster dust to fancy up the main building and the towers
Now every castle has a moat and either a draw bridge or a very solid brick bridge. In the case of this castle, we went with a solid bridge and I tried to make it look like a brick road.
A bit of icing, marshmallow fondant and candies to finish the castle and voila!
A castle cake. (how do you like the banana’s on the towers)
The princesses added to the total picture as you can see, Princess Ariel is even swimming in the Moat. As a result of this cake, one of my daughter’s friends wanted a castle cake for her birthday as well. I made her a castle cake, but not quite like this one.
I’ll write about that castle cake another time.
