How To Make A Small Topsy Turvy
Decorating By splash2splat Updated 27 Mar 2009 , 3:25am by KookieKris
I saw this cute topsy turvy cake that JenWhitlock did but I'm not sure how tall I should do each tier. Here is the link to her cake http://www.cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=1331476
She mentioned that she used a 3,5,7 but how tall would I make them.
I've never done a topsy turvy and I liked the idea of starting small.
THank you for the help.

i havent done one yet but this pictorial makes me wanna give it a try!
Thank you for your help - what I actually needed was to know if I use size 7, 5, & 3 how high should I make each tier before I begin carving. Should I do 2 - 2 inch layers or ....
Thanks again.
I personally think the key to a great looking topsy cake is the height of the layers. I peronally think 4" is the min. for height however a 4" tall by 3" round layer would look rediculous not to mention be very unsturday.
I'm not sure but you could try doing the 7" tier 2 2" layers, and the 5" & 3" tiers being 2 1.5" layers...
Not really much help sorry.
I'd like to start off with the smaller one too.
Let us know if you find out the answer about height ~ I'm interested to know as well!!
