Christmas Irish Castle Centerpiece

Christmas Irish Castle Centerpiece

(Not to be eaten)

You can create your own Irish castle with this recipe from Pillsbury's 1986 Holiday Issue. It's a fun project for the whole family, especially children.

1   15 x 15-inch square heavy cardboard, covered with foil
4   1 lb. boxes sugar cubes
1   can white ready to spread frosting
     decorative candies, such as spicy gum drops
     votive candle in holder

Centered on cardboard, arrange single layer of sugar cubes (about 15 per side) to make 8 x 8-inch square; leave a 7-cube space for door. Continue to build layer by layer using icing to hold cubes and layers together. As walls are built up, leave spaces for windows. Support tops of window and doors with strips of heavyweight paper cut slightly longer than opening. Build towers in corners. Use decorative candies for window decor and on the towers around castle. Use heavy weight white paper or cardboard to make doors; spread with a thin layer of frosting and sprinkle with sugar.

Let doors dry slightly; spread a layer of frosting on the side of cubes in the door space and affix doors slightly open. For wreaths, flatten two green gum drops and cut out a hole in the center. Spread the back with frosting and stick onto outside of doors. Spread thin layer of frosting on the 'ground' around the castle. Make shrubs with green candies as desired. Finally, dust lightly with powdered sugar for snow effect. Place lighted candle in center.

To store, cover completely with plastic wrap; store in cool, dry place.
