This is my 1st castle cake. I made it for my daughter's 4th birthday. It was surprisingly pretty easy. Butter cream cake and fondant covers the the top of the turrets, also fondant accents. The cake is 2 8in. x 2 in high squares. The round one is a 6in x 3 in high. The turrets are ice cream cones. If you're thinking of making one, go for it; it's fun!
