Castle

Inspired by the recent theme in Wilton's 2008 year book, I have suddenly become so ambitious to attempt to make this cake. As usual, the process took longer than I expected. At the end, instead of following the exact pattern provided in the year book, I came up with my own simplified version.

Everything was made from scratch, which explains the long process. The castle towers and flowers were made in advance to allow them to dry and harden. The rest of the decorations were made and assembled on the same day itself. The ice-cream cone that I bought were not exactly even, making the towers look tilting at certain angles. I had a hard time piping in the stars on the cone at an upright position.

At the end of the day, it's another mission accomplished for me. Having learned the right method, I believe it is possible to make the cakes in any design. Just need some inspiration and lots of creativity :)
