Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Wilton Romantic Castle Cake Set
Customer Review: poor instructions - difficult
Summary: 1 Stars
I got this last year to make my daughter's 5th birthday cake. It was the second castle cake I had made. In addition to this kit, you will need dowels which you have to cut to size. Once that is done, the instructions say to attach the dowels to the turrets with melted candy. I tried to use melted chocolate, but they would not stay upright once in the cake. I finally used a glue gun, which was more secure. Next, decorate the turrets and tower tops with colored icing before assembling. Now just try to assemble these parts without screwing up the icing you so painstakingly applied. Lastly, secure the 4 remaining towers outside the cake - nope, no instructions on how to make these stay upright. One of the reviewers used a glue gun - I wish I had thought of that. Neither Icing nor melted candy worked, and the thing fell apart on the way to the event - only a few miles from my house. I have lovely pictures of my daughters cake with extremely sad looking towers turned everywhich way. I thought I was somewhat experienced before making this cake. This was an extremely frustrating experience.Customer Review: Wilton Romantic Castle Cake Set

I just made the cake yesterday, and it was GORGEOUS! I made some adjustments after reading some of the helpful reviews, however. I drilled small holes in the bottoms of the tiers so that I could insert wooden dowels. This made them more sturdy, and kept them upright in the cake. For the outside tiers, I used a glue gun to secure them to the cake round. The finished product looked just like the picture! Customer Review: Very cute -- but use big dowels!

I made a Cinderella castle for my daughter's birthday with this kit. It was relatively easy to use with one exception -- make sure you get some fairly large dowels to stabilize the turrets. The kit suggests using candy melts to attach the turrets to dowels and inserting dowels into the cake. Unfortunately, I tried this with a smaller dowel and while it worked, the turrets were VERY wobbly. The cake was a huge hit with the three-year-old crowd, nonetheless.Customer Review: Nice Kit!
