Fairytale castle cake :)

[bobbingblondie]

I made this for my BF's wee sister's 21st birthday, which was yesterday.  She had originally planned to have a kiddie themed party (face painting, bouncy castle etc) but it ended up as a more grown up evening party with family and friends.  However, I had already planned and started the cake by the time the plans changed, so she got a kiddie style cake anyways!

This is beautiful! You did such a good job- I hope your BF's little sis was grateful for all of your obvious hard work!

that is truly amazing! I love the purple roof, was it sad to see people eat it?

[bobbingblondie]

Thanks!  It wasn't sad seeing it get eaten, I just wanted everyone to enjoy it!  It took some persuading to get Lindsey to cut it up tho - she didn't want to destroy it - but I would have been sad if no-one got to taste it.  I was so worried that the cake might not taste good, as I mostly bake cupcakes rather than big cakes, but it was just right inside.

way cool!! i love the door. how did you texture it?

[bobbingblondie]

Thanks

For the door I used a small sharp knife and drew out a "wood" pattern.  I was going to buy a set of texture mats, but I didn't know when I would ever use them again!
