Coolest Princess Castle Cake 251

Homemade Princess Castle Cake
I made my daughter's 3rd birthday princess castle cake with a princess castle kit I bought off eBay. It came with the turrets, all the princesses, and a frame for my little princess. It was really simply with the kit, although the accessories did not want to stay in the cake at first.
The actual cake was made with a half a sheet cake pan with a strawberry cake recipe and cream cheese buttercream colored pink from allrecipes.com. After making the half sheet cake, I then cut it into various pieces according to the pattern and instructions included with the castle kit. This made for a larger layered bottom and a much smaller top.
Once the buttercream was on and the cake layered, I then added the turrets and princesses and decorated any "spots" with purple icing.
It was a big hit and everyone could not believe I made it. The kit really makes it look more extravagant than it is. The only suggestion I have is to be careful inserting the turrets. They are placed into the sides of the cake, and stay put by resistance. It almost tore through my cake but I just kept stacking the buttercream so it would work as a glue keep it together.
Good luck and if you're able to pull it off, it really was a hit. My little girl was so excited!
