I have had this same issue. I suggest not freezing it, letting it settle at room temp for a half a day or more and making sure your dowels are high enough that the top tier actually rests on them and NOT the bottom cake. Also, make sure you allow each tier once you have placed the fondant on them, to harden and them assemble them. You're really lucky the fondant didn't crack! Beautiful cake though! Lots of hard work, I know!!!

I just had the same thing happen today, only one side of the bottom tier of my very first Topsy Turvy was laying over on my kitchen counter when I came down to my kitchen!!! The bottom tier of my cake was frozen after the fondant was put on and now it is ruined, and this cake was to be a donation to a sports radio show that I sponser, as the trivia game prize giveaway. Now the only one getting this prize is the trash can. I'am sick after the amount of money and time(8 hours) I put into this cake. It did look very nice for about 2 hours!!! Does anyone know if peeling fondant can be saved???? It seems to have A LOT of CONDENSATION on it. I thought the fondant would just dry out as it cam to room temperature. It is actually taking of some of the cake when it slides off the side, and I keep trying to push it back on the cake, but some of the buttercream is coming off with the fondant. Someone please tell me I can save this somehow!!!!!
PS
It was not my idea to freeze this cake after it was fondanted(is that a word?)
