Under all those pastel-colored buttercream lies six, yes SIX chocolate moist cakes that make up the castle and its four towers. I had to insert straws into the cakes in fear of them toppling over. Thank God the castle stayed intact until its cake cutting ceremony. This castle is the champion when it comes to weight. It weighed in at a hefty 4.5 kg.
The towers were topped with ice cream cones which I covered with buttercream and then sprinkled with pink-colored sugar. The front door is made of Meiji Chocolates which I still have in stock from my trip to Tokyo.
How long did it take for me to do this castle from scratch to finish?? TWO whole days!! Yes, that long. I did my research from cake magazines, cake books, googled my way into various cake websites for a week. The price?? Please email or call me for a design consult and I'll quote you a price based on the design, the cake itself and the man hours required to do this cake.
By the way, this cake was for Dania, my good friend, Along's daughter. She had a princess themed party complete with tiaras to match heheh.
Despite the long hours that I put in to finish up this cake, I felt truly gratified for being given the opportunity to stretch my limit and capability and I felt truly satisfied because the castle cake turned out better than I expected and was a hit with the birthday girl.
