Enchanted Palace

Candies used:
Tart N Tinies, Starlight mints, Chewy Sweet Tarts, JuJuBees, Candy buttons, Small candy canes, gold and silver dragees, meringue cookies, blue hard candies, royal icing, rolled fondant

I applied most candy prior to assembly, including melted hard candy window panes. After assembly, I placed the meringue cookie domes and added the lines of dragees. Then I added the JuJuBees and Tart N Tinies borders. I also added the drawbridge with candy cane supports. The moat is melted blue hard candies. I drew the flowers with royal icing on wax paper. After they dried, I attached them. The grass is royal icing, applied with a grass decorating tip.

Rapunzel's Castle

Candies used:
Large and small jelly beans, pink and white mint lozenges, Snowcaps, large and small non-pariels, Necco wafers, chocolate rocks, Tart N Tinies, gold and silver dragees, rainbow sprinkles, royal icing, rolled fondant

I assembled the tower then covered it with jelly beans and non-pariels. I then added details like Tart N Tinies and dragees and drew vines and flowers on the tower with royal icing. I drew the flowers and the hanging tower details with royal icing on wax paper. After they dried, I attached them. The grass is royal icing, applied with a grass decorating tip, with individual blades added between the "paving stones." Rapunzel, the prince, and the witch are colored rolled fondant, which I made from scratch, with royal icing details and rainbow sprinkle irises.
