Buttercream Topsy Turvy

7" and 4" tiers make up my first attempt at a topsy-turvy cake. This was done in a big hurry for my niece after her birthday celebration was delayed when her sister had to have an emergency appendectomy. It is all butter cream except the heart plaque, which is MMF.

I am assuming you did the "cut the whole out of the bottom layer" method...was it fairly simple? The cake is simply beautiful!

Thanks everyone!! Yes, I used the "cut the bottom tier method". It wasn't too difficult, and piping covers many sins! I always use a crusting buttercream.
