Just finished this cake tonight for a birthday party tomorrow - used the Wilton Castle cake set, and it was definitely a bugger to work with, and took longer than I anticipated. Buttercream w/ fondant accents. TFL!

Megan's 1St Birthday

Cake for my daughter's 1st birthday!! Each tier was a different flavor, all covered in buttercream and then fondant with fondant accents. I tried to make the royal Icing tiara, but it shattered right before I placed it on the top of the cake!! So we improvised with an extra tiara bought for her to wear that day.
