No certain pans..just different size round pans. Check out the tutorial here on CC..It tells you exactly the size of pans..you can always go larger or smaller the choice is yours... They are a fun came to make but are alot of work..the stacking part is the the most difficult for me..

I don't know if there are pans out there for topsy turvy cakes or not. I've not seen any but it would be awesome if there were. Where I work we just have to shape them. We usually shape them the same way that is easiest. Where we take the flat round cake cut off the top at an angle then flip the top over so the biggest side sets on top of biggest side. THat gives it the slant. We have also shaped them to be bigger at top then bottom or with bulges, whatever the bride wants. I seem to remember reading an article here on CC once on how to do topsy turvy cakes....it was a while ago, don't know if you could still find it here.

There are and I cannot for the life of me find the link. I'm not sure of the quality or whatever but I remember seeing that not too long ago.

Does that cake pan stand up or is it decorated lying down to look like a topsy turvy?..

i tried to make a cake with the instructions, but when i woke up the next day my cake was flat on the table, the fondant pulled it down. i thought i followed the instructions but i guess i screwed up somewhere, if anyone comes across the pans please let me know. thanks

Hey, I don't know if it is too late for this to help you, but I just got back from the ICES convention and I saw topsy turvy shaped pans at this company's booth.
