As the “Princess” was to have a themed birthday party and to be the main player dressed in an awesome pink princess gown, it was a necessity to have a Princess Castle Birthday Cake.
The bottom tier is a rich fruit cake that was made in advance to “mature” and have regular tipples of brandy before being covered in marzipan prior to the fondant layer. The next two tiers were of Madeira style cakes that were made in advance along with the buttercream and popped in the freezer.
The four towers were of bought Swiss rolls as homemade Swiss roll needs to be eaten on the day of baking. If I should ever do another castle cake I would make the towers in Madeira cake and cut into circles stacking with buttercream and doweling before covering.
The top tier was “pieced” fruit cake from the corners I cut from the bottom tier to accommodate the towers. All the tiers were doweled to support the next. The tower roofs were fondant covered ice cream cones.
As a final touch it was sprinkled with edible sparkles.
