Homemade Princess Castle Cake

Here is a Princess Castle Cake I made for my daughter's 3rd birthday that had the Disney Princesses theme. I used many of the other cakes on this page as inspiration and also tried to replicate the Disney Princess decorations we were using.

For the bottom, I used 2 10inch square cake pans and used a pound cake mix. The top is 2 8inch round pans with a chocolate cake mix. The icing is the Wilton store bought kind and the Wilton pink dye. I used pink sprinkles on the top of the each cake to give it some dimension. Then added mini marshmallows to give it the stone castle look. The pink marshmallows were part of a multi pack of pastel colors.

The turrets are ice cream cones, 2 stacked together for the bottom and one on the top sprinkled with sugar crystals. I cut a little bit of the corners of the cake so the cones could slide in. For the one on top of the cake, I dug out a little hole to sit it in. Flags I just made and glued to toothpicks.

The doors and windows are graham crackers that I cute into the shapes, iced and sprinkled with the purple crystals. Then I took a toothpick to draw the lines of the window panes.

For the base i used wax paper and green cellophane and then used green icing as a border around the cake. Path is graham cracker crumbs. The grass is dyed green coconut. I used a little bit of white icing spread on the base and then stuck the coconut down on it.

And for the final touch, I added the Disney Princesses.
