I got to make these for my cousin's wedding. She had a Nightmare Before Christmas theme, hence the topper, so I tried to be as unconventional as I could be. I used a boxed devils food mix with a strawberry puree & Dream Whip filling... There were some "issues" with the transportation/set up of the cake and the middle tier slid off! But we fixed it and I think it turned out not too bad for a first try. It was a learning experience: don't get funny about filling or BAD things can happen!
