 Hello Shelly-Ann,Thanks for your comment, Well, to make the towers, I used gum paste/fondant (75%-25%). Find something with a tube shape, i used the cardboard tube of a paper towel roll, (you can use any other tube shape you may have), for the walls/towers "stone design/texture" I bought a stone design template, (you can find it in the Duff bakeware section at michaels). Stretch a piece of the G/F, place the stone template over and press firm to make sure the texture/stone design is transfer. Cut to the size, (how tall you want them), and "wrap" around the tube, seal with gum glue. Leave the tower to dry on stand position, straight up. It will take about a day or two to dry. When dry remove the tubes very gentle, I used sugar cones for top to finished, I glue them with piping gel and another piece of fondant as you see on pictures. To attach the towers to the cake I used a very thick  gum glue. The flowers, windows, door and details were made of fondant, the grass, and vines with buttercream icing.

nice!!! I am actually making one of these this weekend for two little cousins turning 3. Are the turrets made out of paper towel centers? I am wondering if they will hold up under fondant
