Cake and decoration
Preparation
Icing
- In a bowl, cream the butter for 2 minutes with an electric mixer. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the sugar, beating until the mixture is smooth. Add the colouring a drop at a time until the icing turns very pale pink.
- Cover and set aside.
Assembly
- Stand 1 large cake in the centre of a large serving plate. Cut the second cake in thirds and stand the pieces around the first cake. Ice all surfaces of the cakes.
- Ice the small cakes one at a time, standing them next to and on top of the large standing cakes to form towers of various sizes. Ice generously to hide the seams.
- Using a spatula, smooth the icing, leaving vertical lines on the towers.
- Mix food colouring into the remaining icing until it turns dark pink. Place the ice cream cone upside down on top of the large cake to make a turret. Using a pastry bag fitted with a star tip, decorate the castle with icing. Make doors and windows with the wafer cookies and fruit leather. Decorate with candies and marshmallows. Make a drawbridge out of wafers and licorice. Sprinkle blue sugar around the castle to make a moat. Have fun!
