Castle Birthday Cake
2 Answers
I am attempting a fairy castle birthday cake for my little girl. I have found some great ideas and most of the have a larger round cake with smaller one on top (some a 3rd tier too) plus little turrets.
Is it best to make a standard Victoria sponge and cut the smaller tiers out of the larger sized tins, or if I buy smaller baking tins should I be using a different recipe and cook for less time? I have found a lot of great visual ideas online but struggling to find how best to construct the basic cake layers without wasting lots of cake or cooking more cakes than necessary.
Thankyou!

Tbh, if you are going to go to the expense of buying new tins, I would be inclined just to make extra cake and cut it to size (on a pure cost basis I see the latter as being more cost effective).
I would probably use madeira sponge though. It is slightly denser and provides better support than a victoria.
