Castle Cake

By Unknown - February 09, 2014

Our church had a Cana Dinner event and they had a Renaissance theme. I thought a castle would be neat to make.

The first thing I worked on was the tops of the towers. I tinted some white fondant with purple food coloring and rolled it out. Then cut out a shape to place over some cones. There were 12 of them!!!

Of course it would be cool to have flags on the tops of them. I made different sizes that corresponded to the different sizes of the cones. I attached them white white fondant.

I baked 6" and 10" cakes, and dirty iced them. Then I had my strong handsome husband :) roll out the white fondant for them. Might as well put him to good use. We used powdered sugar in place of the flour.

Then I wanted to put some detail on the towers. I outlined the windows in purple icing and sprinkled on some silver sprinkles.

I had gotten molds for a stone look, and wanted to use that on the sidewalk thing in front of the door.

I pressed the white fondant on it and then used a shimmery powder to make it sparkle a bit.

I drove to the location of the dinner because I was NOT going to drive with everything assembled. I started to place all of the windows, towers, and door on the cake.

I had some leftover fondant so I had made little purple and white roses, and placed them on the borders. Also added green leaves for a little pop of green color.
