Is it possible to make a topsy turvy cake to serve 20 people. I have a client who wants a last minute cake ( for Friday night) and only needs to serve 20. She doesn't want the flat one, she wants the tiered one. Is it possible, and how would I do it?

I would just say no.
The smallest tiered cake I offer is a 9"/6" which would serve 30...I guess if you cut some off you'd be down to 25.
That's the smallest I'd go, but then also I'm not a huge fan of two tiered topsy turvy cakes. But you could offer it to serve 25-30.
The smallest I'd do is 8/6/4 and that would still be a pain in the butt.
They'd get charged for the 40 servings in those sizes, though. And a hefty rush fee.
Thanks. She wanted a 3 tier, so the 8/6/4 works better. She is a relative and I told her $150. Does that seem reasonable? Or does it seem like to much. I will have to bake all night, and although it is to be covered in fondant, she didn't ask for any decorations on it, just bright neon colors.

40 servings w/fondant, super rush....*thinking* $3.75/serving at $150...if you're giving her a discount for being family, I think that sounds fairly reasonable. I'd probably charge $5/serving in this case if it were for a stranger including rush fee. Maybe a little more.
Wilton has that neon-colored fondant which may make things a little easier for you. Not sure I'd mess with coloring my own for such a small cake.
Remember, no decorations means the fondant has to be flawlessly smooth because you can't hide a slight imperfection with a flower or a polka dot. I'd totally build that into my price. 
Good luck and post pics!!
