This Castle Birthday Cake was made by me as a little girl’s first birthday cake. The theme of the party was fairytake. The cake was relatively easy. I made a chocolate cake (quite a dense one – like fruit cake) went over it with pink cream cheese icing, and when it was not quite set … Read more
I baked one 9×13 cake and two 8inch round cakes. I put the two round cakes on top of the 9×13, using frosting between each to help make them hold. I refrigerated the whole thing for about an hour to make sure things wouldn’t be moving, and to speed up the cooling process so that … Read more

The towers are just cupcakes stacked together with an ice cream cone on top. I used lots of icing to fill in and act as glue with lots of cake sticks. All the princesses on the cake belong to my daughter. I think they were the perfect size for the cake. Everyone loved the cake.
We also made the little flags out of paper we colored and then glued them onto toothpicks and inserted them into the ends of the sugar cones. This was a very easy cake to make. My only problem was it was very hot that day and the icing began to melt and caused the top … Read more
I frosted this cake with homemade butter cream frosting and sprinkled clear edible glitter across the entire cake. For the flags I used white cardstock and stamped pink flowers using a Stampin-up rubber stamp and then taped the flags to a toothpick to stick into the castle towers.
