It's finished!!!

And it didn't fall over on the way to their house. YAY! I waited to put the very top tier on when I got there. The 2 tiers was extremely heavy, so I didn't want to chance putting another one on it. I was sure it would topple over then.

It really wasn't as hard as I expected either. Icing them was the hardest part. It helps a lot when the cakes have been crumb coated and chilled. I made a bow, but it was too big & heavy so it wouldn't stay on the cake.

I'm happy with the way it turned out...I guess I'll attempt another one soon.

Topsy Turvy Cake

I've been asked to replicate this cake.

This is the 1st time for me to make a topsy turvy cake. So far the cakes have been baked, leveled, and are chilling in the fridge to be iced tomorrow.

I always hate transporting cakes, but this one is going to cause me tons of anxiety. I sure hope my dowels do their jobs. I'm off now to color fondant *yuck*. I'll post pics as I progress...
