Castle Birthday Cake

My daughter wanted me to hold a party for her at her nursery, so i asked her which cake she wants, she instantly replied castle cake :) i tried to make her change her mind because i was kind of finding it difficult to make a castle cake ;) but she would not budge from her choice of cake, so here it is the finished castle cake for her nursery party...
i regret not taking more photos of the cake in the making.. hopefully will remember next time when i make a cake..

2nd Birthday party at my daughter's nursery..

 I liked the first cake so much that i made a second cake similar to the first one for my daughter's birthday party at her nursery.. but i added books, apples, rulers, color pencils and scissors to transform it into a more school themed cake rather than just art...

 cup cakes.... again with pencil or crayons..

individually packed the cupcakes in their cases to give out to the kids in her class, her teachers and other play school staff..
