I purchased the brown tower cakes from the nearest bakery. i used ice cream cones for the steep towers. i used cadburys dairy milk chocolate for doors and windows. I used white butter cream icing for the castle and green for the base. I used bourbun biscuits for the castle outer wall. I used rainbow sugar sticks for the fencing and colorful sugar balls for decorating. |

Dragon Castle |
 Dragon Castle” was decorated with rolled fondant and gum paste. It is an 8" round stacked with half a 7" round on top, to create a mountain look. The short and tall towers are cake covered in fondant, and the thin towers on the edges are gum paste/fondant.The turrets were painted with gold luster dust. The dragon was made completely out of gum paste, and painted with red and gold luster dust. As one of my more challenging cakes so far, I estimate the entire creation took about 8-10 hours to complete |

Pink & Purple Castle Cake |
 You will need LOTS of frosting to make this cake! I would get 10-12 cans!
Bottom: 4 stacked 13 x 9 cakes Top: 2 stacked 8 x 8 cakes, trimmed down a bit, stacked in center of larger bottom part. Towers: Frost a regular ice cream cone and a sugar cone; place the sugar cone upside-down inside the regular cone and frost the seam. Dip/sprinkle with pink sugar. Windows/Doors: Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies (windows are cut in 1/2) Other details: Pink Breast Cancer Awareness M&Ms The cake looked great at first, but it didn't hold; it started falling apart! A couple of things I would advise to avoid this are: 1) Do NOT use "Whipped" frosting; it needs to be sturdy! 2) Instead of pushing the towers down on the base, cut a hole on each of the base's four corners, the size of the bottom of the regular ice cream cone. Set the tower in the hole, and ice around it to hold it there. and 3) Even if your cakes look level, use a cake leveler anyway! The slightest difference can make your cake unstable. So my cake fell apart... no; I didn't cry. Sometimes you have to make lemonade out of lemons, right? I asked my oldest son to get some little plastic knights and a cannon from his pirate set and strategically placed them on the cake and told the guests that the "Romans had attacked overnight." We had a good laugh and the cake was still the conversation piece. Good luck! |

Madison's Candyland Cake |
 This was my first attempt at using the castle set from wilton. I had a bit of trouble with one of the towers...but good I think overall. I used 2 10 in rounds for the base, and 2 6 in rounds for the top tier. I made homemade buttercream (my dads recipe) in pink and yellow, and green for the turrets covered in green sugar and some stripes. I spent entirely too long but I attached a million mini and regular size m&ms for decorations, and spearmint leaves for the base areas. My daughter madison was only turning 1 but the look on her face showed me that she absolutely LOVED it! |
