FAQs
Can these pieces be used in the oven?
No, these pieces are decorative plastic and should never be placed in an oven or exposed to high heat.
What is the best way to clean the set?
Hand-wash all components in warm, soapy water and dry them completely before storing.
Do I need special cake supports for the towers?
If placing towers on a single layer, ensure the cake is firm; for taller multi-tiered cakes, use standard internal dowel supports.
Can I use these with fondant-covered cakes?
Yes, they work beautifully with fondant. Simply use a dab of water or royal icing to secure the pieces to the fondant surface.
Are the tower tops removable for all sizes?
Yes, all three tower sizes in the 32-piece set feature removable tops.
Troubleshooting
Tower shifting or falling over
Apply a small amount of stiff royal icing to the base of the tower to act as an anchor on the cake surface.
Difficulty attaching windows or gates
Ensure the cake surface is cold and the icing is not too soft; press the decorative pieces gently into place and hold for a few seconds.
Removable tower top is loose
Check for any icing residue in the rim where the top connects to the tower; clean the connection point and snap it back into place firmly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your castle, start by positioning the tallest towers towards the back of your cake and the shorter ones toward the front to create a sense of depth. Before initial use, ensure all plastic components are washed in warm, soapy water and thoroughly dried. The components are compatible with standard buttercream, fondant, and royal icing. After your event, carefully remove the towers from the cake, wipe away any residual icing with a damp cloth, and hand-wash the pieces with a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers to prevent scratching the surface of the towers.
