Castle Cake

So when my oldest turned 5, he wanted a castle cake.  My ideas were far greater than my skill, but I still proceeded to make the biggest cake I've ever made.  It is ugly, but he loved it and I learned my lesson.  5 cake mixes, several packages of cookies and Kraft caramels, and two 5-lb buckets of frosting later, the whole thing was held together with a prayer!

Yes, I piped each stone.  I've never done such a thing again!
