Hi all, I am new to the forum but have been lurking the board for awhile. For those of you that have done the ttc, how hard was it the 1st you made it?

I'm not a great caker by ANY means, but I followed this video and found the cake very easy to make (it's the purple Mardi Gras one in my photos):

Thank you. Are all TTC's tapered smaller at the bottom or can the be made the same size? TIA
