Castle Cake



Originally a wanted this cake to be a long cake but I was stupid and didn't realize how big cupcakes
would be. I made a 9x13" rainbow cake and was going to cut it in half horizontally but seeing how big the cupcakes were I basically cut the cake in half in a more square to get this effect. I used whipped icing that I colored, tastes great but in my view harder to use than buttercreme. I wish I used a different tip for the "castle walls" but eh, you live you learn. The cupcakes are chocolate cake, also topped with colored whipped icing.
If you're wondering how I even got this kind of idea it was because of this picture of cake stand box (below).

I know that the difference is kind of a stretch but somehow my brain made the connection. It does that, if you couldn't tell.
