Twinsline7 has one in her galleries, it is awesome. PM, her and she will surely help you out, she is great.
I made one the end of may. If you have about 10 days before the cake is due you can make all pieces 100% edible.
TOWERS: 4 paper towel rolls covered with waxed paper and lightly rubbed with crisco. Fondant mixed with gumtex or you can use 50/50 gumpaste & fondant. Roll out 1/4" thick and cover towel rolls. Let dry 7 - 10 days. Make a couple extra to account for breakage. After dry, take a very thin knift and work your way up the roll between the fondant and waxed paper until you have collapsed the roll and pulled all waxed paper away from the fondant.
Remove the roll and all waxed paper.
TOWER TOPS: Two waffle cones and two icecream cake cups.
Cover with fondant. Make dental design for guard tower tops and attach with royal icing. Use royal icing on the inside of the cake cups because you can see inside of them. Attach tops to towers with royal icing and let dry.
IMPORTANT: attach towers on site. They are VERY hard to keep in place while transporting. Good luck!
For the wall pattern, you can use tip 12 to make short lines, wait a few minutes, then flatten with your finger to look like stones. Won't look like brick though.
I tried making turrets out of cake and it didn't work. They practically separated from the cake (and all that was separate was the top piece, but it almost broke the cake itself off). I was able to save it with lots of toothpicks. Dowels would have been better.
Good luck!
Ok I will stop after this. I promise.

I make a 12" round cake. Flat ice it in pink with heart in print all over. Then make the turets in cake using an old tin can for the mold i use three. I cover these in fondant and wrap a shere ribbon round in pink.
Then make the roofs out of papers rolled round into cones. i use a gold wall paper because it's a bit thicker but you could use card.
To finnish it off i make little simple faires using two blobs of icing one in a cone with a ball for the head then cut out the wings in matching paper to the roofs. An place on cake.
Write on Happy birthday or your daughters name.
and add a sparkles path. and some satin flowers too arranged in little groups of twos of threes. and a mathcing ribbon around the edge of the cake.
I have made this a few times and is very popular. You can differ the colours i have done pink, yellow or purple just keep it co ordinated for the best look and use pastles not bright colours.
Wish i could post up a photo for you but hope this makes sense.
GOOD LUCK. Hope you can post picture so we can all look.
I wondered about this pan pictured here:

It sells for $30.00 in the Brylane home catalog. It was pictured with just a dusting of confectionary sugar on it. I asked a question before about it and nobody responded. Have any of you tried it? It appears the cake is not meant to be frosted. Seems dumb to me! Have any of you ever frosted it?
You can buy impression mats for a stone pattern and a brick pattern. That sure would have saved me a LOT of time when I made mine - I used a basket weave tip to make each and every brick. I now have the mats!
