Will These Size Pans Be Okay For A Topsy-Turvy Cake?
Decorating By SweetTater Updated 7 Oct 2011 , 6:11am by allaboutcakeuk
To get the number of servings we need, I am looking at making a topsy turvy or mad hatter style cake with 3 tiers. Each tier would have 3 layers, bottom tier 12", middle 8" and top 6" I wasn't going to carve/taper the sides, but just slope the top to get the shape of something like this cake photo attached.
Usually I'd go with a 10 x 8 x 6 where each level increases by 2"
Will a 12 x 8 x 6 look okay? Or should I do a 12 x 8 x 4 or even a 12 x 10 x 8. I just can't get my head around the final outcome with these pan sizes. What do you think?
12 x 9 x 6 - now why didn't I think of that? I think my brain is fried and I was stuck on even numbers- LOL Thanks!
Id go for 3in increment
I agree with the 3" if you're putting the ball deco round the sides. I happy with a 2" if no major deco. don't go too small on top looks like a funny top hat otherwise 
good luck it's a lovely cake. I'm delivery a topsy turvy on a long journey today v. nervous!!!!
