Princess Castle Cake Ideas

Ask your child which colors she would like for her castle cake.

Princess castle cakes are fun centerpieces for princess birthday parties or any children's event. Talk to cake decorators in your area about customizing princess castle cakes or make your own. Castle cakes are often very elaborate and there are endless creative options for creating such cakes, depending on your skill level.

Sheet Cakes

While small replicas of pink and purple 3D castles are generally what spring to mind when thinking of princess castle cakes, sheet cakes are also a possibility for those who lack the skills to make small-scale model cakes. Make a rectangular cake, draw a princess castle using pinks and purples on the rectangle and leave as is, or trace around the cake design and remove the excess cake. A blue and red sheet castle cake with the child's name emblazoned on the front of the castle is also an option.

Tiered Cakes

Create assorted tiered princess cakes. Start with a thick pink sheet cake base and add pink-with-purple-windows triangular towers, or a white traditional three-tiered cake embellished with "castle walls" around each tier's edge and assorted tall thin towers. Two-tiered cakes with lots of towers are also options, or try sitting an entire small castle cake sculpture on top of a traditional round layer cake.

Disney Princess Cakes

Disney princesses are often favorites for princess castle cakes. Create a blue and yellow castle cake for Ariel from "The Little Mermaid" or a castle cake featuring vines and bramble icing growing up from its base via "Sleeping Beauty." An Arabian palace cake using lots of orange, cream and gold colors suits Princess Jasmine from "Aladdin" or try a yellow cake reminiscent of Belle's yellow dress from "Beauty and the Beast." Use figurines of each princess as toppers in your cake designs, or use figurines of many Disney princesses to make a general princess cake.

Ice Cream Cone Tower Cakes

Ice cream cones are ideal for creating castle towers. Use different types of cones, such as waffle cones for large towers, sugar cones for added sweetness, or standard ice cream cones for creating more rounded towers. Dip the cones in fudge and add candies such as jimmies, M&Ms, Reese's and pieces of chocolate or white chocolate. Coating the cones with frosting is another option and provides you with the opportunity to create a variety of colored castle towers. Also try using cones for ice cream castle cakes.
