Castle Cake

My son wanted a castle cake for his 5th birthday. This cake took 34 LONG hours to complete. It's two stacked 8" squares. The towers are stacked 3 high and were cut out of a larger cake. Almost impossble to ice. I had to pipe the icing around each individual fondant brick and then go back and smooth it all out.

I really like the effect of the fondant bricks on icing. Really great job!

This is exactly what my 5 year old son has just asked me for his birthday.... I'm printing his picture as inspiration... Great Job!

just a little bit of advice......the tops of the towers (the red) it was construction paper, but I later found out that if you put tape on the bottom of the paper it will keep the icing from soaking into the paper. Just FYI
