When his daughter asked him for a princess castle cake for her birthday, he called up a few bakeries in the area, but they couldn’t help.

So, he got to work figuring out how to make it himself. After over a week of effort, he finally finished, and it is amazing. He posted a compilation video showing all the steps and the finished product.

The video starts off with some very dramatic music and shows the dad whipping up some eggs that are needed to bake the cake. Then it shows him pulling the first layer of the cake out of the oven.

It looks good so far, but this is just step one.

Next up, he is sifting the powdered sugar to make the frosting, and then compiling the base layer of the cake with a fruit filling in between each layer.

Throughout the process, the dramatic music keeps building up.

He really put in an incredible amount of work.

He built his own cones for the castle towers and made the frosting look like engraving on the stone. He even pulled out his torch to give it a really great look.

He must have spent a lot of hours on this!

By the end, he has a multi-tiered princess castle cake that looks professionally done. His daughter clearly loves this cake.

Judging by all the work he put in and how it was all made from scratch, I’m sure it tasted great, too.

Sometimes, you do what you have to do in order to make your kids smile.

Take a minute to watch the full video for yourself.

He really did do a great job.

I can’t believe how good it turned out.

This isn’t just a cake, it is an epic journey.
