Dora's Fairytale Castle

Dora's Fairytale Castle on Cake Central

This is the cake I made for my daughter's 2nd birthday. It took me 10 hours to decorate it! I"m only new so I'm not fast! The main two tiers are choc mudcake with ferrero filling and chocolate ganache. The turrets are jam rollets. At first I tried just using apricot jam to attach the fondant but it didn't work, so then I used buttercream. Ganache is WAY easier to work with!!!!!! The rooftops are fondant that I modelled to look whimsical and dusted in purple dust mixed with white pearl dust. The brickwork is an impression mat that I pressed into the fondant once it was on the cake and the door has a woodgrain impression mat impressed on it (before I attached it). The windows are a cookie cutter that I found in my drawer. The shape seemed to work for the cake so I used it! The party guests didn't realise it was a cake - they thought it was a decoration I bought!
