Coolest Castle Birthday Cake

This Castle Birthday Cake is the cake I made for my daughter’s 1st birthday. I got the idea from some of the pics I saw on this sight, but most were made using a square pan. I used a 2 store bought cake mixes and made according to directions a few days before I actually decorated it. I used a round flat bunt pan for the bottom and used a small cooking pot for the top. I used a homemade buttercream icing (recipe came from a site somewhere as well) to frost the entire cake. Liquid food coloring was used to create the colors.

The towers were made with ice cream cones first spread with icing then rolled in purple and pink (mixed together) sugar crystals for the bottom cones and the points of the top cones were rolled in star candies. I then piped the green to look like grass and ivy on the towers, the edges of the cake and cones and to create doors and windows.

This cake was a great hit at the party, everyone loved it. The total prep time was about 6 hrs, including the baking of the cakes.
