I have a fairy castle cake on my profile, which isn't too difficult for a hobby person to do.

thank you!

maureen - i have made one like that before, but she wants one which is the same shape as the diamond castle, and i want to make it for her so much...

What's the diamond castle? I don't have little people anymore, so if it's a CBBC's thing or something, that's why I don't know!

Don't worry about the see-through aspect -- do it in white with lots of glitter/lustre powder.

If having to make one, I'd be inclined to do the central part of the castle as tiered cakes with a longer thinner cylinder on top, and then do all the turrets and parapets and so forth in sugarpaste or pastillage, depending on fiddliness.

Debbie Brown's Magical Cakes and Enchanted Cakes books might give you some ideas that you could adapt.

(Maureen, I think it's a Barbie movie thing. The only picture I can find online is this one.

And if Mattel can pass this off as the Diamond Castle from the movie, whatever cake you choose to make will do admirably provided it's kind of castle-shaped and sort of diamondy.

Crickey! She's not asking much is she?

Good luck! I can't think of anything, but I will give it some thought and I might get a light bulb moment!

you are all brilliant, thank you...!
