DD has asked for a sand castle/sand pit cake this year so I was wondering if anyone has had a crack at one that the could share a pic and instructions on how they made it.
Would be very interested to see any others along the same lines as well... or any birthday cakes really.  TIA |

My beastie did a sand castle for her dd one year.
Biscuit crumbs stuck to buttercream icing. Three round cakes like steps (if that makes sense), ice cream cones for turrets. I think she may have found it in women's weekly birthday cake book/mag. |

Thanks! I had seen the brown sugar cover cake but wasn't too keen on feeding a handful of 4 year olds full of sugar... biscuits might be a little better.
I'll goggle the mags and see if I can kind the articles... Would still love to see pics if anyone has any... |

Yep I've goggled pics but I guess I am looking for a bit of instruction on what icing to use... how to cut out/stick on the sticky up bits etc... the construction I guess.

This cake tin, covered in fine raw sugar so it looks like sand.
I think I've seen silicone versions of that tin in Kmart (I have the one linked) |
