How lucky am I to be able to play with candy?! As a job! I also love the piping that this project required. I find it relaxing to pipe like what is required for the walls of this cake.\u00a0 If I&#8217;m using royal icing, I&#8217;m even happier since it&#8217;s so much easier to work with and so much easier to clean up than buttercream! <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_4789sq.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-8996\" title=\"Candyland castle cake \" src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_4789sq-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"candyland gingerbread castle cake \" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_4789sq-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_4789sq-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_4789sq-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_4789sq-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_4789sq.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>Candy Land Gingerbread Castle Cake<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Ingredients and Materials:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/kCduKbOlHKI\" target=\"_blank\">Gingerbread Cookies<\/a>\u00a0 (4 x 6&#8243;x6&#8243;, 4 x 3&#8243;x3&#8243;,\u00a0 Cupcake shaped door)<\/li>\n<li>Prepared cake 5.5&#8243;x 5.5&#8243;<\/li>\n<li>Prepared cake 2.5&#8243;x 2.5&#8243;<\/li>\n<li>Fondant (red, pink, blue, purple, orange, yellow)<\/li>\n<li>Snowflake sprinkles<\/li>\n<li>Round peppermints<\/li>\n<li>Mini candy canes<\/li>\n<li>Gum drops<\/li>\n<li>Lollipops<\/li>\n<li>Peanut butter cups (mini and large)<\/li>\n<li>Sugar cones<\/li>\n<li>Rainbow sprinkles<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/RnxHBne-uVo\" target=\"_blank\">Royal icing<\/a>&#8211; pink, green, white<\/li>\n<li>Licorice pieces<\/li>\n<li>Large rainbow swirl lollipop<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_4823sq2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-9002\" title=\"candyland cake \" src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_4823sq2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"candyland gingerbread house \" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_4823sq2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_4823sq2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_4823sq2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_4823sq2-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_4823sq2.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Procedure:<\/p>\n<p>1. Attach the cake cubes in the gingerbread pieces. Using the pink royal icing, and a #12 tip, cover the sides 3\/4 of the way up from the bottom with pink bubbles and 1\/4 with white royal icing.<br \/>2. Insert 3 dowels into the larger cake, and place the smaller cake on top of the dowels. Cover the tops of the cakes with sprinkles.<br \/>3. Switching to working on the cake board, cut out squares of fondant and create the game pathway. <a href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_4819sq.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-9001\" title=\"Gum drop mountain\" src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_4819sq-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"candy land cake \" width=\"602\" height=\"602\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_4819sq-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_4819sq-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_4819sq-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_4819sq-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_4819sq.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>4.
