Cool Homemade Castle Cake Idea for a Boy

This Castle Cake Idea I made for my son’s 6th birthday. It’s sponge cake which I made the day before and covered in chocolate buttercream. But a few weeks before, I made the icing walls and turrets out of fondant and embossed them with a stone pattern and left them to dry. Assembly on the day was easy – simply a matter of erecting the sides and turrets and sticking with more icing.

The figures are moulded out of icing. I made the moulds with silicone gel around some playmobil figures and horses.

The pointy bits on the turrets are ice-cream cones covered in chocolate (I think I would use icing next time).
