Fondant covered cakes with a "MILLION" pieces of circles and squares in gumpastes. The topper is styrofoam carved and covered with gumpaste. White squiggles and dots are royal icing. This cake was for a 5 year old's birthday mad hatter party.

First of all, thank you to BKeith for your article. I had done this cake before, but you gave me the confidence to try again...my angles were sharper and I think it was overall better this time! I was in love with the retro 1942 topper they gave me for this cake...from their aunt's wedding. SO special! The cake's flavours were Lime Spongecake with Toasted Coconut Buttercream and the bottom tier was Dark Chocolate with Chocolate Buttercream.

This cake was for one of my best friends' daughters' 1st birthday. (Whew, that was a mouthful..) This was my first attempt at fondant, as well as my first attempt at a mad-hatter cake. I think it turned out ok for someone who's never taken a class.

This was SO much easier to do in buttercream! I'll never go back to struggling to cover these tiers in fondant!! Did the wild colours with Americolor dyes, fondant detailing. Cheshire cat in gumpaste. Pearls in fondant dusted with irridescent powder. Cake is Pistachio with Passionfruit buttercream, Dark Chocolate with Grand Marnier buttercream & Banana with Coconut buttercream.

My first (and probably only) attempt at a mad hatter cake. 3 layers, 3 flavors with buttercream and covered in fondant. This was for my best friend's mother's 50th birthday party. It was hot as hell, and no one ate the cake. *sigh*

My first attempt at a whimsical-tilted cake. I originally planned on making this a 3-tier cake, however I ran out of fondant (oops!) Obviously, it's covered in fondant, with fondant decorations. Next time I'll get the angles cut correctly too! It was a learning experience.

Top tier is strawberry, middle chocolate and bottom white cake. I'm not so happy about the overall shape, but it was my first whimsical cake and I only had two days notice (gotta love those last minute orders!)... it was certainly a learning experience. I'm looking forward to doing another one, maybe with a bit more time to plan next time.

The top tier was lemon w/ lemon SMBC, middle tier was lemon w/ lemon SMBC & filled with Kahlua Raspberry filling, base tier was chocolate w/ chocolate SMBC filling & icing. Homemade fondant (Toba's recipe) decorations. I had SO much fun doing this cake!! Please feel free to critique & offer suggestions for improvement!!

The cake was pictured at an angle so you could see the White Rabbit on the front, but I think you can still see the top picture okay. Everything was done with buttercream, and a lot of it was applied with paintbrushes & toothpicks. Thanks for looking! :D

Only the bottom layer is cake. The rest is a dummy cake built from paper mache hat boxes (cheaper than styrofoam). All iced in bc and covered with MMF. The topper is floral wire with beads and MMF decorations. I had so much fun making this cake and got an order for another one upon delivery. Inspired by Lindy Smith and other designs seen on cake central. Still need lots of practice covering cakes with MMF, but it was fun to try.

This was a co-creation with my cake buddy for our friend's wedding. She baked then we decorated all weekend. There was much drama, but it all worked out in the end.

First attempt at a topsy turvey cake. Party was Alice in Wonderland, and the teapots were the favors for the girls, Velvet Mad Hatter hats for the boys. So each layer coordinated with one of the teapots. Cut outs of Alice and other characters, plus one of the birthday girl on top. Found great crazy candles and put shaped pipe cleaners on the top as well. Was Wilton fondant at the time, now I only use MMF.

The masks are molded fondant. this is also my first attempt at the tilted madhatter cake. I learned quite a bit while doing it.

Every month we have a birthday potluck at work for everyone who has a birthday that month. August didn't have any birthdays or holidays, but everyone wanted to have a potluck anyway. I'm in charge of doing the cakes and it made me think of an UnBirthday cake. Topsy turvy came to mind. It was my first attempt and not the best, but everyone loved the uniqueness of it. I know the things I did wrong and will learn from it :-) Thanks for looking!

My boss and I did this at work a couple weeks ago. I made the flowers and pearls and balls ahead of time...then he cut the cakes crooked and iced them in buttercream, and helped cut the shapes and then I laid the shapes on the cake and attached the other decorations. It was my first "topsy turvy" cake and was alot of fun!

It was fun to figure out how to combine his two passions into one cake! Used fondant for the stethescope, bought the trees and figurines, made the sign out of gumpaste and chopsticks!

Yes, it's outside and pouring rain! It was for an Art exhibit this evening, to serve to guests. They ordered about 6 or 8 wedding cakes, all different styles from different companies. It was fun to see other work close up!

This is the third tier of my Alice in Wonderland cake. The mad hatter, the march hare, and the white rabbit are all out of gumpaste. The table is a gumpaste cloth draiped over a plastic lid fused to a 3" pillar. The chairs had to be pretty strong becuase the characters aren't the lightest bunch..so I made support beams with bamboo sticks and florist tape, and then covered them with gum paste.

The cake that shouldn't have been - but turned out okay! Only the grace of God held it together! At 2 am last night a chunk of the 2nd layer just fell off - and it was glued back with buttercream. The cake was a disaster the whole way through - layers that wouldn't stay up, fondant troubles, monkeys falling apart, poked a hole in the side with one of the dowels.... AUGH! There is a reason these are also called Mad Hatter - that's what you end up being at the end - MAD! Thanks to everyone for keeping me sane

I made this banana and coconut cake for my 21st last year. I had a Mad Hatter's Tea Party and my best friend's mum suggested a Painting The Roses Red Cake. Roses are marizipan partially painted in food colouring. The blue thing was a paint brush but the brush part has been sliced off.

This was my first topsy-turvy; it was actually my first attempt at any stacked cake:) I used the Melvira method to smooth out the buttercream - the top layer clearly wouldn't crust, so I couldn't smooth it! The cutouts are all fondant. I made this for a friend's birthday, and she's allergic to red 40 dye which made the color choosing process pretty limited, but I think it turned out alright. Thanks to everyone who offered me advice in taking this one on!

This was a bit unusual for me for a yound client. It was her second birthday, but she wanted the bright primary colours...not pastels. A little girl after my own heart!
