Whimsical Topsy Turvy Cake

I think this is the most beautiful wimsical wedding cake I've seen! I love the tassles. Wonderful job!

Thank you so much SkisinOkinawa...I loved designing and making this cake...it took quite some time to accomplish but I loved the challenge. Thank you so much for your e-mail. I can say the same thing about all the wonderful cakes that were submited for this competition...I think everyone did a wonderful job and I have lots to learn from every cake posted. :-)

This cake is georgeous!

Thank you for your e-mail Chantel134. I loved making this cake. I just did it again this past weekend and will be doing another version of it for a wedding coming up this Saturday.

Perfect! Hope you are not "selling" yourself short on this. Especially because of all the time involved.

Wow, this cake is so beautiful.

WOWEE!! That is spectacular!

Thank you toristreats and imartsy for viewing my picture and for your e-mails. Ever since I did this cake I've come up with similar design but incorporated fresh flowers in between tiers, and also hand painted hearts instead of flowers on the first tier.

WOW WOW WOW WOW!

This is beautiful! I love that is is wimsical but still a classic all white cake at the same time!

fantastic!!!! you can be so proud!

your cake is on unbelievably gorgeous!!!! What did you use for piping on side of the base tier?

ewpatrick I apologize for the late reponse. I used #13 if I am not mistaken (royal icing) painted with pearl luster dust.

Gorgeous!! Just beautiful!!

THIS is my goal as a cake decorator. I just finished my first two cakes and posted photos of them. If I can do a cake just like this, just as clean, just as fun....then I'll consider myself a success. How long did this take you, from start to finish? I still don't really have a true concept of the steps involved in something this detailed. The only way I'm learning is from books, free videos and websites!

Dear Kerrixx1. I bake all of my cakes fresh and decorate them fresh too with exception of the bows which I did a few days in advance. Because everything else is done to take the shape of the cake as it is drying it took between 19 to 22 hours to decorate starting the day before the wedding and ending that noon before the wedding. I had done it a few times before so it was not as hard as the first time as you get use to the steps. Never give up I've learned mostly with books just like you. Keep it u...

Well done!!!! Best TTcake i've seenyet.

This cake is a masterpiece. I can't stop looking at it! Stunning!

Dear itsasweetthing and angelas2babies thank you for your comments. You guys are making me blush :-). I will be working on another topsy turvy this week but with pastel colors. Thank you for your kind words. Keep up the great baking!

Karenichi, I hope you will post your other cake creations. This is one of my most favorite cakes on the whole cc site.
