Cute Homemade Castle Cake Idea

I made this Castle Cake Idea for my daughter Alyssa’s first birthday. It was fairly easy and the end was result was fantastic. My main aim was to make it taste just as good as it looks. I made 2 rich chocolate cakes, with layers of chocolate ganish (chocolate sauce).

One layer was for the base part of the castle and second to make the top layer and the turrets.

I used pink royal icing to cover the whole cake and achieve a smooth surface. I decorated the cake with pink and red mini m&m’s using them as a border around the base of the cake. Also I had purchased some pre made sugar flowers and basically added them to the joins in the royal icing, which also covered any imperfections.

I was very pleased with the end result, you cant see from the photo but the back of the cake and the sides are also decorated with flowers as well. The turrets were the hardest part to get right and in the end I had made them too big and as you can see if they were a little smaller they would have been great.

Over all was pleased with my first time cake effort but you be the judge!! Thanks
