After much sweat and MANY nearly sleepless nights.. I finished the most challenging cake I have made to date. My first venture into the land of the topsy turvy cake and my first venture into gumpast flower land as well. There are WAY too many pictures of this cake in my photos.. I got click happy..

This cake is for my sister's baby shower that is later today.. I baked on friday and carved/filled/iced/fondant-ed all day saturday and finally finished the details at 2 am today. It was way worth it.. I hope she loves it.

Thanks for looking!

absolutely gorgeous!! well done and definitely worth it! You would think you're a old pro at it!

That's a gorgeous cake. Congrats on your first time. And I love the way you did the base. That's so different and elegant.

Just fabulous. A fresh idea on the topsy turvy. Does each tier sit inside the other or are they stacked?
The flowers are great too. I just love working with gumpaste.
