Hi guys..
I am doing my first paid cake this weekend. It is just abirthday cake but I am still nervous. I am supposed to do a castle cake and had some questions about the towers..I have seen on some other CC posts that I could roll fondant over paper towel rolls. I tried this and now I am not sur how to attach it to my cake. Should I remove the paper towel rolls..will my fondant still keep it shape and is there anyway to support it to keep it from leaning over? Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!!
I have to do a castle cake in a couple of weeks. I planned on using paper towel rolls. I think you just wrap them in fondant and I would assume just attach them to the cake with a little icing. Yes, leave the paper towel roll in the tower. Just tell the person you make it for that the towers are just decoration.
Definitely leave the paper towel tubes in. If they will be set on top of cake and you want to keep them straight, you can put a dowel rod inside them pushed into the cake that extends up into the 'tower'. If they are set directly on the board, it shouldn't be much of an issue.
