They'll be climbing the castle walls to get to this royal cake.
• 5 baked 8" square cakes • 5 to 7 cups white icing • 5 sugar cones • Purple and pink edible glitter or sugar crystals • 1/2 cup pink icing • Yellow mini jawbreakers • White and purple gumdrops • Pink Good & Plenty candies • Pink or red gel icing • Mini candy hearts • Red sprinkles • Colored paper and tape • 5 toothpicks
Step 1:
Cut one cake into four equal pieces and arrange three of them atop the four whole cakes, as shown, securing with icing. (Tip: Cut up the extra cake piece for nibblers.)
Step 2:
Frost the castle and cones with the white icing, then sprinkle the cones with edible glitter and set them on the castle.
Step 3:
With a pastry bag, create pink icing corner pillars and a door with mini jawbreaker studs.
Step 4:
Set the gumdrops and Good & Plentys around the castle ledge, then add decorative loops of gel icing and the mini candy hearts.
Step 5:
Finally, add the sprinkles around the top of the castle and top the cone turrets with flags cut from the colored paper and taped to the toothpicks.
