Cake castle
This is my first such "project" of course on the occasion of my niece Lucija's 2nd birthday. I decided to put just how I made the castle and the cakes themselves are already baked by everyone to their liking.
Preparation steps
- So bake a bigger and smaller cake, cover it with buttercream and ticino / fondant (for a smaller cake I baked my white chocolate biscuit and for a bigger dark chocolate biscuit; the creams were white chocolate ganache with coconut, nougat chocolate ganache, ganache dark chocolate)
- I joined the cakes "upstairs" so I put three sticks in the middle of the big cake (the one made of skewers) with a little buttercreme on them and put a smaller cake on top (of course each cake is on its own plate)
- I made the towers from an ice cream cone by cutting one in half and "sticking" the whole cone into it and fixing them, I poured a bit of royal icing and when it hardened it was super stable.
- I covered the towers with white fondant, and their roofs with pink. For the look of the bricks or blocks, I used a ruler and lightly pressed to get that look. The roofs of the towers are also glued with royal icing to the lower part of the towers.
- this is what it looked like
- Of course, I don't have all the cutters that I need for the fondant, so I used the Lego cube to make the strip that I put between the pink and white part of the tower, so that the edge is not visible, so cut the strip from the fondant and the cube only the top edge. , and glue to the tower (for glue - in a little water dissolve a little fondant in the microwave)
- these are finished towers
- Then the windows follow, of course, and for that I used a net of Lego bricks, I cut out a stencil of paper, cut out the fondant in that shape, pressed the net and that's it, glue the window to the towers.
- then I threw myself into making flowers of shrubs and trees
- this is what the ornaments look like
- small flowers were also used to decorate the towers
- from the pink fondant I made a door for the upper and lower floors
- and then it all had to be put together. I put it together with buttrecrem and then just a little bit in the fridge to harden a little and fasten the towers well
- I made pebbles from a little black and white fondant and of course I used a thin layer of buttercreme to stick them to the base. with a little vodka or water and mixed it in buttercrem, I added it in powder form so that I had lumps here and there, so every now and then I had to clean the extension (just so you know if it happens to anyone else)
- a few more flowers at the bottom of the upper towers, letters and that’s it
- this is how a cake is eaten :)
