My cousin turned 6 last weekend. Instead of cracking my head for a gift.. I offered to bake a cake (naturally). Her request was .... a pink castle, with lots of flowers..
Immediate thought.. should I have just cracked my head for a gift? HAHAHAHA..
Anyway, I must admit I was excited of the challenge. Or maybe it was the little girl in me who got excited.. :)
Three cakes, and 5 hours later... tada!
The pink castle for Megan
M - For Megan, naturally...
Knock Knock.. is there a princess inside there?
Oh there was a lil' duck pond behind the castle too :)

Cake : Buttercake with strawberry swirls .. totally yum!
Frosting : Strawberry jam
Decoration : Fondant, royal icing
p/s : We bought candles from Tesco in the shape of horses (didn't manage to take pics though).. and just before the ceremony, Megan gets to place the horses on the castle.. it was so adorable.
