Castle Cake

Just wanted to post a quick photo of a castle cake I did for a princess themed third birthday. I based it on the excellent design by Jessicakes, who offered a fabulous tutorial for the turrets. As usual, time always runs out for all the little details but it was a fun and challenging project. I topped the towers with fondant flags (not pictured here), and used cake dummies to give it a grander scale. Inside: Vanilla cake layered with strawberry buttercream and fresh strawberries.
