Oooooo.... how much fun is this? I have the Wilton castle kit and have made two already. I'm also making one for my dd's 4th birthday in November.
What kind of candy factory is it? You have so many options available to you. You can do an all chocolate cake with assorted kinds of chocolate candies (even a chocolate "moat" like in Willy Wonka) for decorating.
Or you can just use all different kind of candies to decorate (think gingerbread house on steroids). Twizzlers, jelly beans, candy corn, etc.
Or how about a Strawberry-Shortcake style cake done in reds, pinks, and greens loaded with striped candy canes, whipped "cream" on the cake and turrets, etc.
Here is a webpage with lots of Castle cakes to give you inspiration:

I did a castle cake as a wedding cake in all white,used a 12' round at the bottom then a 9'hexagon and a 6' round. I have the castle cake set which surely does make things a whole lot easier. I also recently made a castle (princess) cake for a 17year old, I modified the original and only used some of the turrets because it was a much smaller party.
I will try and add a picture of the princess cake.
