My daughter is 4 today and she requested a princess cake and I have been wanting to try a castle cake for a while now. She LOVED it and it wasn't near as difficult as I thought it would be. As you can see in the picture it needs to be better supported but you can't learn unless you try right? lol
since it was a small party (10 people) the only real cake is the 8 inch round layered cake in the center, the bottom is faux cake (styrofoam) and the ferrels are fondant covered rice krispie treats molded from a cup i buttered to get an easy release and the tops are fondant covered ice cream cones "painted" with wilton gel food coloring diluted in water. I have been hinting around for an airbrush for Christmas (fingers crossed)
the decorations on the cake are necco candies broken into pieces for the stone look on the bottom cake and kept whole for the rest.

zoomitoons,

Looks great to me!

Bet your daughter felt like a princess when she saw what Mom had created just for her!

(Also noticed that my twin and I share your birthday! She likes to say that we're natural-born sweethearts.)
