Castle Time

We created a castle over the weekend for Brooke's 3rd grade school project. One of her favorite TV shows is Ace of Cakes and Cake Boss. Poor Blaine, his sister talks the show up like, "Blaine they are going to make a space ship out of cake" so I think he's just as hooked as she is now. So, we got some ideas from the show and decided to tackle our castle "Cake Boss Style".
First, we took 25 rice crispies and molded them, cut them, shaped them, colored them and about 100 toothpicks later - Walla!
The castle gate is made from Popsicle sticks painted brown and glued together.
Drawbridge is held up with paperclips and string.
Can you find the queen of the castle? We taped a picture of Brooke in the window of the "Tower" made of marshmallow.
Flagpole was made with dad's creative pocket knife work.
Blaine helped paint the water and make the crocodile. What's a castle without a crocodile right! It was a fun project and smelled Delicious!
