Hi,

I'm a cookie girl.
But I have kids so I do cakes for them...
my DD is turning 3 years old in 2 weeks and I want to make her a nice castle "cake" But I will mostly use cookies for decorations... (but I don't want to do a "disney" cake)

But now I need ideas for the decoration (not for the cookie part)...
I'm attaching 2 very-quickly done 3D template... The colored parts are cakes.
I'll put some support inside the cookie (like for cookies on stick) and also on the back..
I don't wan't to do the 4 sides.. I want something a little bit "theatrical" for miss little diva...

But now I don't know how to finish the sides..
Any ideas?

I don't have any suggestions for the sides other than maybe a forest and "river", but I think that is gonna be one pretty cake! Want to adopt me?

It will be nice from the front... but for now the side won't look great lol!!
I'll have a river between the two cakes (where the bridge is)...
Forest is a good idea, need to figure how I would put everything together..

Any other suggestion? )or advice)

The sides I would frost with a crusting buttercream to look like cobblestones. Just pipe dots with a no 12 tip and flatten out with your finger once it's crusted. As a border, I would make plants and grass trailing along the sides and sprinkle some graham cracker or oreo "earth". Random flowers.

I like the river idea. The bridge I would make with gumpaste curved over a form (like a roll of kitchen paper wrapped in parchment). I'd also make gumpaste bridge rails and assemble it all with royal icing.

Thanks ! icon_smile.gif

And like beside the castle (above the cake), any tips on what I could do ? I'm afraid that the cookies will look weird since I'm not doing 4 sides (and I don't want to do 4 sides...)
