Coolest Castle Cake

This Castle cake is a 10inch square with an 8 inch square rich fruit cake stacked on top made from my own recipe. It is iced with ivory sugar paste. The turrets and towers are all heavy gum paste and modeled wrapped around some kitchen roll tubes. I iced the trailing ivy and made small blossom flowers with a blossom cutter.

The towers are filled at the top with gold balls. I used a pebble impression mat for the icing on the board, and a brick impression mat for the walls of the cake. The gold decoration is edible lustre mixed with vodka for painting.

I made this for a for a friend who was getting married in a castle.
