Castle Cake (Take 1)

This is a castle cake I made 2 years ago for my daughter's 4th birthday.


It's a square chocolate cake, with swiss roll towers, and icecream cone roofs. The door is chocolate fingers, the windows are chocolate buttons and it's sprinkled with chocolate stars.

I based the design on pictures of cakes shared here: http://www.coolest-birthday-cakes.com/castle-cake.html

Also today I found this pinterest page of castle cakes with some idea (but very professional looking): http://pinterest.com/lovingly/castle-cakes/

My task for today is to repeat this cake - only in purple. I'm going to try to do better with the icing (OK by cheating and buying ready made frosting - I just can't get homemade icing to stay on cakes!).
