This is what I spent last night and this morning working on. My first castle cake! After delivery (a 12 mile drive that took 25 minutes and resulted in some melted frosting and loose turrets) I reassembled the top and piped beads around the tower bases. My plan was to have the vines going up all the towers, but I didn't do such a good job of figuring out the logistics first. Next time I'll decorate each tower a day ahead of time and assemble the whole thing on site. Now I know! I also need to come up with a crustier frosting for castles, so I can carve "stones" into it, as well.

Girlfriend, you NEVER cease to amaze!! You so totally rock!!
I wanna be you when I grow up!! :)
OMGosh!!
This is amazing!!
I still haven't figured out how your post title works -- baking fun? -- hasn't been for me. In my world that's an oxymoron. It's more fun just to observe yours. I'm speechless. (which means you win; I'm rarely speechless)
I need an "I WIN!" emoticon! Melinda speechless!! I'm giddy!!! Seriously, thanks for your encouragement, Mel & Deb!!
Deb, you are absolutely amazing!!! It seems like each cake gets better and better and more creative.... as if that was even possible. So, how are you with Baby Shower cakes??? ;-) I think I'd like something "girly"! ;-) ;-) Check your other email for pictures of her. LOVE YOU!!!
