Coolest Barbie Princess Castle 392

Homemade Barbie Princess Castle
My daughter wanted a Barbie and the 10 Dancing Princesses Party, but already had a Barbie Cinderella cake a few years back. Instead, we decided to try a Barbie Princess Castle cake. This cake is much easier to make than I thought it would be.
I used the Wilton Romantic Castle kit to add the turrets, doors, windows, etc. The cake is actually the inside part and consists of two nine inch round and one six inch round cake. I stacked all three cakes, filling in between layers with buttercream frosting. Frost smooth the round cakes with white frosting. Using a star tip, I put a hot pink border around each layer.
Prepare the pointed tops to the turrets by "frosting" the plastic that comes in the kit with white buttercream and rolling each in pink sugar. Assemble as many as you wish around the round cakes. I used melted white chocolate as "glue" to hold the turrets to the cake. Place the plastic sugared tips on top of each turret using frosting as glue. Using a small piping tip, outline the door and windows of each of the plastic pieces. I then added flower and leaf decorations using a small star tip again.
The best part of this cake is that most of the actual cake is hidden by the turrets, so if you aren't as good at icing a cake smooth, it really doesn't matter! The cake was a huge hit and the kids loved getting to lick the sugar off the pointed tops, as well.
