The perfect Castle Cake for the perfect little Princess

My name is Chrystal. I got tired of paying so much for birthday cakes that i decided to start making them myself. So i watched a friend decorating one for about 5 minutes....That's all it took, I have been decorating cakes for 9 years now.


My most recent cake was for my daughters 8th birthday. She wanted a Castle. I had never made a birthday cake so big before but it turned out amazing. One of my all time favorites. The first thing i did was use a 14" square for the bottom and stacked a 12" square next...then i tiered a 10" circle on the top tier. I bought a box of sugar cones and a box of colored cake cones.



To make the spires all you have to do is: After icing the cake, take the cake cone and sit it upright where you want it one the cake and gently press down to make the impression of where you need to cut the whole for the cake cone to fit into the cake itself.

Then cut the whole into the cake for the cake cone to fit. Then you will need to cut the bottom portion of the cake cone off....right about where the design on the cake cone ends. Place the cut cake cone upright in the whole one the cake.



Use some buttercream icing to line the edge of the inside of the cake cone (no need to fill the whole entire inside) the place a sugar cone upside down in the middle of the cake cone. The icing will allow both cones to stick together. Put any design you desire on the cones. For the princess's tower....take a cake cone and slice it in half. Notch out the top of the cone to make it look like a castle...use buttercream icing and ice the inside of the cone and place it on the cake to make it stick.


If you do not have cake seperaters it will look just as lovely with all three layers stacked. I hope you enjoy this cake as my daughters and their friends did.
