I have been asked to make a princess castle cake for a lil girl. The mom said she has a 3-D castle pan for me to use. She'd like a 14 x14 under it in pink. The castle on top in white w/gold trim. I've never done one of these before.
Does anyone have some tips for doing this? Special techniques, short cuts, etc???
TIA
Noticed your post at the bottom of page 2 without any answers=( Gonna bump you back up to the top to see if anyone on now can help you=) GL on your cake! Jen
Well I am assumeing that it is a flat cake pan, meaning you only see the front of the castle. You can use a star tip with BC and cover it that way (you see alot of character cakes done that way) or I would cover the castle in fondont and add the decorations in fondont and BC. You can use lusterdust to make it sparkle and get the gold color
I would do it the same as doing a stacked/tiered cake. Put the 3D cake on a board, Ice it and put in fridge to get cold. Ice the bottom tier and use the base of the 3D pan to make your marks as to where you want to place the 3d cake. Put your dowels in since it is fairly large and dense and will be heavy. Then stack the top tier on the bottom. Finish decorating both. As for the 3D since it will be hard to ice (or I think it would) you could do a poured icing to make sure it all gets covered.
