Whimsical Topsy-Turvy Birthday Cake

Whimsical Topsy-Turvy Birthday Cake on Cake Central

This is my many first attempts cake. First time w/ MMF, first time w/ topsy-turvy cake, first w/ 2 tier cake, first w/ marbling fondant. The bottom tier is rice crispy, it would have been too much cake if I had did them both cake. The top tier is half yellow butter and half butter pecan w/ cream cheese filling and crumb icing. All accents are MMF as well as cake covering on both tiers. I am not very happy w/ the cake. I couldn't get the draping yellow MMF edge to be smooth. Appreciate any tips and advice.

Pizza cutter works well or an exacto knife. Good for you, these are difficult! All in all I think you did well, especially since it's your first of many things.

I like your cake, especially the roses. I don't work in fondant, so I'm afraid I can't give you any other suggestions for cutting the edge, but I would also think a pizza cutter would be good. I also might suggest that a little more icing under the fondant; that might make the cake sides a little smoother. All in all, a nice job, keep it up!
