5.
Place frosted cones on top of cupcakes. Using medium writing tip and purple frosting, pipe decorative lines around tops and bottoms of cones, cupcakes and edges of square cake.
6.
Place chocolate wafer cookies around sides of cake, alternating whole cookies with cookies cut down by one fourth to create castle wall. Decorate castle with assorted candies, cookies, decors and fruit rollups cut into flag shapes.
