I made this castle cake for my 2 boys who practically share a bday… so they always wanna have their party together. They insisted on a castle cake so there I was… I had never baked anything but a sheet cake from a box. Well the cake was far from perfect.. but the boys loved it! I started with a sheet cake for the bottom of the castle and a cake that I made with a loaf pan for the top of the castle. Once they cooled I stacked them on. Then I made grey icicng…(white decorator icing and black food coloring from wal mart) You have to be really careful I learned because the grey darkens as it sits and I made this cake the night before the party so it got really dark grey as you can see. (oopsie!) Then I used regular Ice cream cones for the bottom of the pillars and sugar cones for the top. I icing them the colors the boys wanted and added some sugar sprinkles on top. I used a grahm cracker for the door and iced it to match also. Then I added in some yellow icing so it would match their party theme. This cake is FAR from perfect! But you could work with the design and make it really good.
