Princess Castle cake

This cake was for fifth birthday celebration of a lovely 5 year old princess. Thank heavens for little girls! They are precious gifts; one of the most beautiful miracles in life, one of the greatest joys we can ever know, and one of the reasons why there is a little extra sunshine, laughter and happiness in our world. 

What with a woman running for president, all little girls can believe that possibilities are endless for them. So go for it, my little chickies.... reach for the stars--- storm the castle with your ambitions. 

The bottom layer was a chocolate cake with Chocolate ganache and chocolate mousse fillings.  The top tier was carrot nut cake.  I used Wilton's castle cake kit for the turrets, but I did cover them with fondant and gave it texture and some gold dusting. 

It was a challenge to keep the structure from falling apart since kids kept touching and poking at the cake all evening.
