Fairy Princess Castle

So, what have I already learnt? That when you slice off the corners of a square cake so that the turrets can snuggly sit there - MAKE SURE YOU CUT THE RIGHT AMOUNT OFF AND THAT IT'S DEAD LEVEL.

Ho hum! I'm not worried. I can fill it and it will be fine. It's just annoying.

I bought a length of plastic tubing from B&Q that hubby was going to cut to size for me, but the cheap junior hacksaw I've got wasn't strong enough and they weren't straight! So it was on to Plan B.... the cardboard tube from inside kitchen roll that I've cut to size and covered with sugarpaste.

The customer asked for the cake to be pink and lilac and glittery and girly! It's pink alright! I'm going to do the pointy roof of the turrets in lilac and also the... the... oh what's the word? The bits that go around the top edge of the castle? Battlement? Oh, you'll see for yourself when it's done.

Better get on!
