Castle Cake (Take 2)

Here's version 2 of the castle cake (this time in purple by request).


And some intermediate steps. Here's all the bits ready for construction. I broke my own rule and did my own cake mix (instead of a box mix, which is more reliable for structural cakes). The squares indeed came out a bit flat and heavy. 



Lots of buttercream frosting with lots of red and blue food colouring in it. 


Add the chocolate coated icecream cones. I used a ganache recipe to make the chocolate coating (chocolate and cream melted together). 


And once more - the finished result. My daughter helped with the final decorations.
