As an alternative, you can purchase a toy castle intended as a gift and put that on the cake. Another alternative is to purchase a toy castle and make a princess cake to go with it. Make a dome shaped cake for a dress and insert a plastic doll torso into the top.

A more challenging cake is a square cake with turrets made out of cupcakes and waffle cones. Make the towers slightly higher than the cake. This cake can be one layer thick or you can make a square layer cake for the base and use a round layer cake on the top for the castle. If you make a two-layer cake, the bottom can be iced in a garden theme, with piped flowers and animal and people figurines.
