So I told my friend this game sucks, and that I wanted to try to play on the Alien team. In the 45 minutes I watched him play, the Aliens couldn't get into the base because of all the turrets.

He gets in one of those games where the aliens are dominating the map but can't seem to crack the Marine's base. the boringness Okay, so I'm watching my friend play NS 2.0. This will prevent the turrets from toppling over.Oh god. Then place the turrets over the straws, hiding it. Insert straws into the cake where the turrets would go. Cut the ovals in half and place on the sides of the cake and turrets.Cut out little squares using the 1/2" square cutter and use them to border the cake. Place around the door to make it look like stones.Use an oval cutter to cut out some windows for the castle. Take small pieces of fondant and roll into a ball then flatten it with your thumb. Carefully place on the top part of the cakes.To make the entrance door to the castle, cut out a half oval with the same height as the cake. To make it easier, I use the same cutter to measure the space. Using a 2" square cutter, cut the top part of the strip on every 2" interval. Make sure that the cakes are well chilled before decorating.Roll out and cut a long strip of the darkest fondant to about 2" in height. Stack the 7" cake on top of the 10" cake using cake dowels on the bottom for support. Moisten with water and stick the cone on top of it. Roll out a log of fondant and place on the top of the tube. When the whole tube is covered cut the fondant with a pizza cutter. Place the tube on top of the fondant and slowly roll the fondant around the tube. Moisten the tube with water as this will help the fondant to stick to it. Roll out the fondant and cut a rectangle.

This will prevent the tubes from absorbing moisture and therefore becoming soft. But before covering with fondant, cover the tubes with plastic wrap. To achieve this, just simply not mix the color all the way thru.Cover the tubes with fondant. I wante to have a marble effect on the fondant. The 4" tube will go on the top and the other two will on the lower tiers of the cake.Mix a little bit of black food color into the fondant to make a gray. For this project, I cut 2 tubes to 6" long and one tube to 4". Use a carton tube and cut to the height you want the turrets to be.
