Fairytale Castle Cake

Made this for my little girl's fourth birthday. Firstly, many many thanks to member "Louise" for the gorgeouse cake that she did. It was the perfect model cake - love it! Mine was done in chocolate cake using the 'Q's favourite chocolate cake' recipe found on cakecentral. Really moist and yummy, but had to get it out of the freezer for a day to defrost before icing so it wasn't too moist! Heaps of compliments on the cake so thankyou to 'mjnj' for recipe. Buttercream under fondant with royal icing accents. flowers were made with wilton leaf tip and dusted with lusterdust. Leaves were done with the same tip. First time using it so leaves were better than flowers cos I had had some practice and had softer consistency royal icing! Used grass tip for grass and wrote name on baking paper over a computer printout. Not sure I'd do that again unless I was sticking it to the cake itself. It was difficult to stick the little bits to the covered cake board but it would work quite well onto icing. Was going to do cupcake towers for the corner towers but they came out too wobbly so I just covered some paper towel rolls with fondant in the end. Didn't have time to let the icing dry and remove them so they just stayed in!
