Coolest Princess Castle Cake

My princess castle cake was made for my granddaughter’s 3rd birthday. She asked for a Princess castle with “all the princesses on it.”

Using your site for ideas, I copied one lady’s idea of using two flat bottomed ice cream cones on top of each other for the towers, topped with a pointed sugar cone.

I baked two 8 inch x 2 inch deep square cakes for the castle base, topped by a 6 inch x 3 inch cake made in the 6 inch round Wilton wedding cake pan. The top turret was made by an inverted flat bottomed ice cream cone topped with a pointed sugar cone. I iced the entire cake including the towers in pink. I iced the sugar cones in purple and rolled in Wilton’s purple edible sparkles. I added purple string work decorations. One half of a large Hershey bar made the front door, the drawbridge was made of Pirouline Rolled Wafers, with red licorice “chains.”

I downloaded clip art of the princesses on the computer to make the windows. They were laminated on both sides with Avery Self-Adhesive laminating sheets I picked up from CVS. The laminate was to keep the icing from soaking through the paper. I found pictures of dancing princesses, giving the impression you were looking in on the ball.

The cake was a lot of fun to do and I thank your other contributors for giving me the wonderful ideas to construct the perfect birthday cake for my granddaughter. I hope they also enjoy seeing the changes I made to their original ideas.
