I am making a topsy turvy cake for the first time for my daughter's b-day. I was wondering if it would make a different on what type of cake that I make for it. Does it need to be a pound cake type or does it matter? I was going to use the DH mix to save time but not sure it it will work since I am going to trim it and all. Please help.

I've never made one either, but I'm going to the first week of April for my kids b-day. I've done a lot of research on it, and I think I'm going to use the WASC, and mud cakes. All the Aussies swear by the mud cake, and the WASC is pretty firm and fluffy all at the same time. I'd love to hear other opinions though!

My cake did not turn out at all. The chocolate turned out good. I made it into a pound cake but the top was white cake and I think it was to moist. Not sure what happen but it just fell apart. But I am hoping to try again later.
Would love to hear some tips.
