Well I think you are doing just fine! icon_smile.gif
I like the sizing on the mask cake. I don't care that much for the taller tiers.
Some yrs back on another board there was a gal who used the Wonder mold to make (,mostly single layer) TTs. All she did was turn the WM cake top down.......no carving, problemsicon_smile.gif
Maybe you could incorporate this idea into your work.

Thank you... I just notice that the mask cake is sooo smooth.. how do I get my fondant like that? Am I not rolling it thick enough? and also, what sizes would you think I go with for 110 servings? I was thinking 12/14 10/8 6/4 I don't have odd number pans icon_redface.gif

Ok here's a good link

http://members.nuvox.net/~zt.proicer/message/saved/TILTEDCAKES.htm

this is pretty much how I made one if you do make a hole to sit your top cake in, make sure you leave room for the thickness of your fondant, or buttercream. Anyhow I woulds also not drive to far for this cake as it might settle.

Hope the link helps or at least that some else adds more links. icon_smile.gif

I chill all my cakes for delivery. Ever the more (most) so for a topsy turvy.

THanks for the link! thumbs_up.gif that's a good diagram, I did not use that method for the first one I did but I was definatly planning on it for this one because of it being so much larger... I was thinking I would have to assemble on site.. the location is about 30 mins from here and I didn't know how the cake would travel..

Oh and I will definatly chill it..thanks thumbs_up.gif
