Purple & Pink Castle

This would be the 3rd birthday cake that I make for this girl :). How time flies! Her mom requested a purple & pink cake. After a few exchanges, we decided on a castle.  It'll be a 1/2 sheet and there'll be a lot of space to be decorated!

For this cake, I had my mind set on a rustic brick sidewall. Fondant is a pretty decorative medium. However, I didn't want to go that route because the cake is large and I thought it could potentially look blah. So I piped out the brick pattern on a sheet pan. covered that with purple dough and made thin sponge for the sidewall. It actually came out pretty and purple :).

Next is making the towers. I cut out little circles and stacked them to make the tower. Roofs were sugar cones. Having delivery in mind, I had a skewer sticks fixed in the cones to make the roofs easily mountable later.

Here I used fondant to add vivid and solid colors to the towers. 

Putting it all together, the castle was structurally solid, yay! Dotted the top with more pink and purple flowers. Just need writing in the middle and it's ready to be delivered!
