Thank you, thank you

Thank you very much! You are very talented.

Thank you so much for the time you took to make this video, like others that have not made a TT yet, I have to see when I can make one, I hope soon. These type of videos are so helpful and an advance thank you to all that will be making future videos.

I watched your video on this type of cake. You make it look easy. IN your opinion is this tech difficult? IN my mind it seems really difficult. Also can you do this with buttercream or do you feel that it would make the final result more difficult. Thanks for any advice you may have

I loved the cake..I was wishing it won the valentine's deal with doug. I was dissapointed. Thats basically how I do my Topsy Turvys too.

I think topsy turvys are not difficult, just messy and is best to take your time ezbakin.

Thanks so much for this video jsmith!!!

I found this video online last week when I had my first topsy turvy to do...it helped so much. I was already in the process though so I know what I can do diff next time!

Thanks again! You're the best!

aaaaghhh!!!! thank you so much!! I've read about that method before but I could never seem to grasp it! Last time I did a topsy, it fell over. But you just gave me confidence to try it again thank you!

Thank-you so much for posting this! After watching it I'm actually going to give this a try someday. Thanks again for taking the time to do this and sharing it. That's awesome and really appreciated!

Thanks everyone! I'm glad it helped.

Oh wow you made it look so easy! I have a few questions, hope you don't mind... why do you spritz it with water, is it so the fondant will stick? is your BC crusting?

I LOVE the design too. so precious! Did you win? You should win!!!!

thank you so much for the video. I'm a visual person, and this was a G-d send.
I need to make a birthday cake for my daughter's 11th birthday and she asked for a topsy turvy piano cake. Last year I made a topsy for her and it was sliding. I vowed to never make one again.
Now I see where I went wrong. I am willing to give it another try.

Thank you so much for the insight.

thanks for the video...very much appreciated,hopefully I will get to do one in the future.

Thanks! My icing crusts so I have to spritz it with water to make the fondant stick. I have a water bottle that is just for cake stuff.

Thanks

Thank you so much for posting this! I have to make a cake for my daughter's Brownie patch ceremony and I needed a new idea! They always want a better cake than last time and I thought my last one was kind of a stretch of my skills. You made this look do-able though, so thank you very much!

BTW, can I ask if you use a powdered sugar frosting or a cooked icing? It looks so nice and fluffly and creamy! I would read through the posts, but my daughter just got home so my computer time is about over

Wow, just in time! I have to do a cake for a 1st birthday and was quite nervous about doing this, I have never constructed one before. I'm now going to try it. You're an angel! Thanks

OHH, thanks, I off too UTUBE!

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this!!!

I have a question: Is each cake on foam board, or a cardboard cake circle? How easy (or Hard) is it to drive that center dowel through? Do you hammer lightly or what?

I'm a visual learner also and I have been searching for a good video on these cakes. Thank you so much for this tutorial!

I usually use cardboard rounds. It's not very hard to get the center dowel through. I use my garden shears but you can use a little hammer or mallet. I try to hammer lightly but sometimes have to hammer a little harder to get it to go through the boards.

Thanks for taking the time to do this!! I've done a couple small ones, but you make it look so easy!

Wow...that was cool to watch...Thanks for taking the time to pass it on to all of us!

I am trying to decide if I want to attempt this type of cake for a customer. This is a last minute order and I only have 1 day to do it. Sometimes when people are very vauge in what they want its harder. The cake is for a 1yr old boys b-day. They want something that is in tiers or has dimention to it no flat sheet cake. She suggested the topsy turvy but I am afraid of how it may transport. She will be picking the cake up at my house and driving 20 min to her location. If I attempted a 2 tier topsy turvy I need it for 30 people what sizes would I need to make and again I am not sure of the stability of it esp with me not being there to transport it. I was told they want primary colors but they don't want the "typical 1yr old cake". So no building blocks, letters, numbers etc. I am at a loss and any advice or suggestions is appreciated. I am going on 4hrs sleep so I am going to attempt to get some rest and wake up tomorrow and make a decision, although I won't be able to sleep thinking about this cake. Thanks again for taking the time and ANY and ALL suggestions are appreciated.
