Homemade Princess Castle Cake

My daughter was turning four and desperately wanted a princess castle cake; she had been talking about it for months. So, I went to the store and bought my first box of fondant.

Using round cake pans, I baked the cake, layered it with frosting once cooled of course, and then laid out the fondant. After trimming the access fondant off of the cake, I rolled large pieces of fondant together so that they could be used as pillars.

The roofs on these pillars are simply ice cream cones, cut into points at the bottom then placed upside down on top of the pillars. To get their sparkling texture I spread frosting on them and then rolled them in a bowl of colored sugar sprinkles. I used a green frosting tube with a leaf attachment to create the greenery and made several flowers out of fondant.

The doors are also made from fondant, I just shaped it and made creases with a butter knife. To finish off the cake I added a little Cinderella figurine to match the princess theme of her party. My daughter absolutely loved it and still talks about the cake almost a year later. Thanks for taking interest in my cake!
