Maura's Birthday Castle







Maura turned five last week. And every little girl deserves a castle on her birthday. I love making castle cakes. They're actually quite simple. This one was three 9 inch layers covered in fondant "blocks" with matching buttercream piped between the fondant. The towers were made out of rice crispy treats. I made these the night before so they would have time to set up before I coated them in a thin layer of buttercream and wrapped them in fondant. The tops if the towers are the standard upside down ice cream cones that I decorated with fondant. The final touch was the flower vines, loved them on the Dragon Castle and I love them on this one too. Hope you like it!
