... I'm still working on getting the Topsy-Turvy thing down. I refuse to give up! Lol. We had a carnival theme for my daughter's party.
Inspired by cakes by dolittle and allycat77
Gorgeous! It's so colorful, and I love the "big top" look of the bottom layer. It's all so cheerful you can't help but smile as you look at it. Fantastic job! She's one lucky little girl!
Fantastic cake! When I first saw it in the thumbnail I thought it was a "Rolie Polie Olie." That's a kids cartoon from a few years back. My daughter would have loved this cake at 3. Again, great job!!!!

Still working on it??? I think you're there!!! I only hope I can eventually get a tt cake to look as good at yours!! Let's see, everything I love about your cake... the colors and how you seperated and outlined them, the heighth and the shapes of the tiers, the adorable elephant with the ring on his nose... I could go on, but I'll save it into my fav's for inspiration next time :) Great cake!!
WOW! 8O You are so gifted. I love the colors and design of this cake. So much detail, and wow is that top tier tall!!! What a perfect carnival cake. The suckers and elephant on top are a fantastic touch.
