Princess Castle Cake

My great niece wanted a cake with “all the princesses”, so a castle was the logical solution. I got the Polly Pocket decorations on eBay.

This cake took a while but it turned out great!! The bottom tier is 3 nine inch square chocolate cakes; the middle layer is 3 smaller round spice cakes, and the top layer was made in a big muffin pan. I baked all the cakes and assembled (using wood rods to keep things stable) and frosted the bottom 2 tiers, and made and chilled the turrets and tower two days before the party.

The four side turrets are 8 ice cream cones that I filled with spice cake and baked, then put together with skewers, then cut zigags out of the top of each turret with an exacto knife, then brushed on melted “candy melts”. I also used the candy melts for the top tower which is an unfilled sugar cone.

I was not happy with the results of the coating – I couldn’t get it on smoothly, and it was a weird off white color – so I just covered the turrets with tons of rose vines and the tower with icing stars. (Next time I would try some other method for sure!!)

There is a pink paper triangular flag on a toothpick on top of the tower that says “Happy Birthday…”. Everyone loved the cake, and both kids and adults fought over eating the cake-filled turrets!!
