Princess Castle Cake

This Princess Castle cake was all about fun.
The pink castle was surrounded with candy.
The flowers on the grass were made from taffy, the river is made from melted hard candy, and the pathway was made from Tootsie rolls.
Even the grass was treated like candy, I took sweetened coconut and dyed it a bright green.
Using coconut instead of icing gives the addition of both texture for the chocolate cake as well as added flavor.
