Princess Castle

Princess Castle on Cake Central

This is the first cake I have made in over 5 years! It is a butter cake with homemade buttercream, covered in wilton fondant. This was my first time using fondant and it was pretty tricky! I had tons of bumpiness. I have admired all of the cakes on this website and wished I had known of this site before I made this cake. I am hoping to start a business soon, so any critiques would be appreciated! This is my first post and I am thrilled to be among you fellow cakelovers!

How did you do your turrets? Are they ice cream cones? What is underneath them? Sorry for all the questions.

Thank you everyone! I made this for my little ones third birthday and she loved it! The turrets are paper towel tubes and ice cream cones that were covered in fondant. I painted them with a mixture of vodka and gel coloring to achieve a watercolor look. I had to rig the turrets with balls of fondant stuck to the layer below because they were too large to fit ! it was a trip it took me until 3:30 in the morning to decorate, but the look on DD's face was worth it!
