I got the idea of a Castle Cake out of a book. This is my first time at making a birthday cake like this, normally make cakes with butter icing piped on, I started early in the morning and by 8 o’clock in the evening it had all gone wrong so I cut it up and we had a cup of tea and a slice of cake before bed.
I then got up at 6.30am and started again wow, it was hard making all the little stones and pieces of grass which I made by using a icing nozzle (number 30 I think). As for icing, I just used fondant icing as I was running out of time to look into what else to use.
It was a long process but managed it at just gone midnight, especially as it was my daughter’s birthday the next day. I was very proud and nearly cried when we had to cut it. Since then I have made another one and done it in half the time.
