I want to make a castle cake for my daughters 4th birthday. I've seen lots of great cakes on this site. Some that I think I can make and some that are just too out of my league.
I've seen some that come with walls that have notches or cut outs but I'm not sure what they used to make that since I purchase my fondant and it's too soft to make walls with, let alone a wall with a notch at the top.
Can anyone give me any ideas or instructions on how to make a castle cake with notches? I've see some that have mashmallows instead of notches but I really want this came to have the "Wow" effect. I think I'm up for the challenge.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for all your help.

I think your best bet is to find castle cakes you love on this site and PM the person (people) who made them for detailed help. Most people are willing!
I used sugar cubes on one of my castles, but I do think the carved notches are cooler.
Good luck!
BTW, castle cakes are easier than you think! They are time consuming, but they're a lot of fun.
One more thing...gumpaste is much sturdier than fondant and dries very hard. That might be a good material to use for your turrets.
Hi..
I am presently trying to make a castle for my god daughter's birthday. I am not clear what notches you are looking for.....but have made my turrents which look like these and have these notches out of mmf mixed with gumtex. If you need any help then PM.
