Does anyone know where I can find directions on how to make a separated tiered topsy turvy wedding cake? I have found the instructions for the tiered topsy turvy cake where the layers sit directly on each other, but I can't find one where they are separated. I need help!

Well, you can probably do the same technique. Don't cut into the cakes to stack them. Just make the cakes up till that point and use whatever columns or tier decoration you will be using!
Hope someone else can help further!

Are you talking about the ones that look like they are really falling? If so, you use a triangle piece of Styrofoam for those. Cut it to fit the look you want and then place the cake on there and be sure to use lots of dowels. You can cover up the Styrofoam with flowers or other things so no one sees it.

You can use styrofoam wedges to achieve the offset look without carving.

It looks like that they have one side of each tier resting on the tier below and put columns on the other side. With the plate at an angle I am wondering how you would fasten the columns to the top and bottom plate. A little hot glue might be the ticket just to make sure they will stay together. To hide the columns they placed the flowers in between. It looks to be a simple way of doing it and I may try it when I get a chance. Very nice design and lovely cake. Hope this helps and be sure to post your picture.
