Castle Cake

Here's this weeks project. A princess castle cake. I think I've decided that birthday cakes just aren't my thing. I'd much rather do a wedding cake, I think they are easier. When it comes to a birthday cake or other celebration cake I just feel so uncreative. I'll probably still do birthday cakes if people want them, but I'm glad I don't get a lot of requests for them. This one was fun just because I haven't had a lot of chances to do cakes for little girls, so I enjoyed that. Id you look closely I used an impression mat to add a cobblestone appearance to the cake. It was a little tricky since it was done in buttercream and I would have much rather used fondant for all of it, but it was fun thing to try. The turets are plastic covered with fondant.

You're saying that your imagination isn't active with this cake? Really. Rose vines climbing the turrets, crenelations on the walls. This is a dream cake. Heck, I want it for my birthday. Silly girl. You make magic.
