I guess the first TT cake I made 2 years ago was beginner's luck! I somehow got this one lined up wrong and call it a "tipsy" cake as it all was basically toward the front! It is a 6', 8", and 10" - chocolate for the bottom cake and the rest yellow. Chocolate frosting for the filling (I find the children rather frosting than a filling.) The frosting is buttercream and all decorations are fondant, whch my granddaughter brushed quite a bit with peart dust. (My granddaughter designed it .)
