Recipe for a fairy castle cake

Ingredients

Ingredients for the decoration

• any cake (e.g.: apple-vanilla cake, quick mug cake, quark-vanilla cake)
• 2 packs of Candy Melts (in pink)
• small, colorful sugar pearls
• 5 - 8 ice cream cones
• 1 pack of wafer cookies
• 1 egg white
• 250 g powdered sugar
• red food coloring
• gummy bears
• 3 toothpicks
• pink cardboard paper
• Scissors
• Glue

Preparation

1. We decided on an apple-vanilla cake, which we prepared the day before.

2. We baked the cakes with double the amount in two batches in the cake pan (diameter 24 cm) and trimmed the uneven parts with a knife.

3. The cake should have two flat surfaces.

4. We filled the cake with some apricot jam and stacked the layers on top of each other.

5. We let the cake sit overnight and only decorated it the next day.

6. For this we cut the waffle cones into small windows and battlements, as well as a gate.

7. For the battlements, simply cut the long wafers so they form squares.

8. For the windows, additionally trim one side of the squares with a knife so that the windows are rounded.

9. For the gate, cut 2 large rectangles and round off one side a little with a knife.

10. We also cut the tips off 3 ice cream cones, and these will be placed on the heads of 3 gummy bear fairies.

11. Now we move on to the cake icing; it should become a pink castle.

12. For this, melt the Candy Melts.

13. I melted the Candy Melts in the microwave; you can also do it in a water bath.

14. Spread the melted Candy Melt sauce onto the cake, preferably with an offset spatula.

15. Here we started with the edge first and my daughter immediately stuck on the windows and gates.

16. Finally, we coated the surface with Candy Melts.

17. Now place the cones on the cake, quickly sprinkle them with pink sugar pearls and arrange the gummy bears on top.

18. Attach the gummy bears' fairy hats with a dab of Candy Melts.

19. We had no Candy Melts left for the cones, so we made a sugar glaze from one egg white and powdered sugar instead.

20. Stir this mixture well with a few drops of pink food coloring.

21. We poured this over the ice cream cones and immediately sprinkled them with colorful sugar pearls.

22. We also poured some of the icing over the battlements.

23. For this, cut triangular flags from pink construction paper and glue them onto a toothpick.

24. The flags are simply pushed into the cones (it's helpful if the cones have a hole, then you can just push them in).
