my castle cake

Hi everyone. I made a castle cake for Heidi-Mari’s fortnightly baking challenge.

Here’s the recipe!

What you will need:

A vanilla cake baked and cooled (You can use your favourite vanilla cake or any other flavour, but I recommend this recipe)

A packet of yoghurt jelly tots

A packet of jelly beans

3 cones, one short flat bottom

Blue sugar edible crystals

A packet of princess sweets (any girly or princess-like sweets will work)

A packet of white chocolate buttons

Ginger biscuits

Yellow icing (or your choice, but I used butter icing) & green icing (once again, your choice)

1 Mento (this goes on top of the flat bottom cone)

100’s & 1000’s

Method:

Ice the cake with the yellow icing, once you are done with the first layer, put it in the fridge and wait for 10 minutes. Continue this until the cake has three layers of icing.

Pipe a plus sign on each of the ginger cookies, and put them on the side of the cake making windows. Then ice the cones (except for the flat bottom one) roll both the cones in a plate of 100’s & 1000’s. Place then together in the middle of the cake. Blob a bit of yellow icing on top of the flat bottom cone, and then place the Mento on top. Blob more icing on top of the Mento, and place a jelly tot on top.

Put the flat bottom cone on the cake behind or in between the other cones. Put the cake in the fridge and wait 10 minutes.

Take the cake out of the fridge, and pipe green icing in between and under the ginger windows. Using jelly tots, make flowers at the top of each green line. Or be creative and make little buds on the sides of the piped green lines.

Put in the fridge again, but only for 5 minutes. Once the cake is set again, stick princess sweets, jelly tots, jelly beans and white chocolate buttons wherever you want on top of the cake. Then sprinkle the blue edible sugar crystals on top. Eat all the cake you want or share some with the kids!
They’re sure to love it... J Lol.

Here’s some pictures of my cake.

That's my little brother, Reilly, just waiting for us to finish photographing so he can have a piece of cake!
