Upside Down First Birthday

Made for my youngest son's first birthday. He likes to be upside-down! The cake board was made as a collage of pictures from his first year. I used non-toxic mod-podge to seal the collage.

Hilarious - great work.

Thanks for all the nice comments! I basically just built the cake like a normal 3-tier cake, but with LOTS of doweling. I sculpted the bottom and middle tiers slightly to create the "tipping" effect. Then one large dowel all the way through the base. If I had to transport a cake like this I would use 3 large and long dowels through the whole cake. Thanks again!
