Yep, I have finally decided to do a castle cake for Eva's first birthday this weekend! Big undertaking seeing is how I've never done one. I'm excited though. Anyhoo, I wanted to know if anyone has any tips or help for me so I don't make it look like a 2yr old did it?!

I'm sure you will manage to make a perfectly good job of your cake with no worries. My only advice is don't fret over it. I'm looking forward to seeing the end result! You go for it!

Cool! I was kind of hoping that my 4 yr old Olivia would pick a castle cake...we have until the end of August for her to decide! So far she wants Shrek. I have to make Sesame Street for my 18 month old. She is in love with Elmo like most kids her age. That won't be until July. I already am beginning to think it out and plan for them. Good luck with the castle. Wish I could offer some tips but I've never made one either. They are so pretty...maybe my sis in law will ask me to do one for my neice! lol.

My first ever decorated cake was a castle cake for my 4 year old. If you look in my photo's you'll see it and my other cakes are far from the talent on here (I've actually done better ones, just had problems posting).

Anyway, I wanted to make the towers edible so I used twinkies. I cut the rounded ends off and stacked them end to end. Then put a bamboo skewer through them and used tooth picks and icing to anchor them to the cake. I let my daughter help b'c she loves to do anything in the kitchen and we had a lot of fun. Enjoy it!

I actually have the instructions for my Disney Princess castle cake typed out. Would you like a copy? Even if you don't make the exact same castle, you may use one of the techniques.

I would like the instructions also if you don't mind. Would you mind emailing them to me? My email is [email protected]. Thank you so much.

I'd like them too, but please PM them to me --

ladies please be aware for your own protection that there are insidious people trolling websites for emails for no good purposes. For your own privacy, ask that people please PM you with instructions.

Hi Diane!

By any chance can I get the instructions too? [email protected]

TIA

Could you please pm those directions to me also. Thank you!

I really like your Disney Princess Caste. Please email me a copy of the instructions...... [email protected]

TIA!!

Julie

OH, oh, me too!!! Can you please PM me the instructions? You did a fantastic job

lol...count me in. You can email or pm. [email protected] Thanks so much.

Being that sometimes people cannot get the instructions for things to fit in the PM's, you can always PM your email address to the person you wish to get the info from. That way you can still keep your email info off of the public boards=) Jen
