We have one big joint birthday party for our 3 kids each year, so we have to come up with a universal theme (one boy, 2 girls). This year we had a Princess and Knight in shining armor party. This was their cake... the base is a square cake and is clad with the gingerbread parts, then the lit castle was added on top. The mote was made with aluminum foil covered with piping gel, all animals were made with royal icing including swans and fish, grass is green coconut. Everything is completely edible except the foil and plywood base!
