The Closest I've Ever Come To A Cakewreck!

So, this is only the second topsy turvy I've ever done. I think I had the cake out too long while I was working on it. Mostly because I didn't think my fridge could accommodate an 18" board. As I was working on it, the bottom layer began to smush down and out. I think it was a combination of the way I carved it and also the heat. I had to peel the fondant off, re-ice, shove the board in the fridge, re-fondant and re-stack and decorate, then shove the whole thing back in the fridge again. The next day, I had to deliver it an hour away, praying the whole time that the bumps in the road wouldn't cause the bottom layer to completely collapse. I don't think I've said so many "Hail Mary"s since high school! Anyway, if you look at the pic, I think the shape of the half smushed bottom layer actually made the cake look more cute and I got an email from the customer after, saying how much everyone loved the cake and it was delicious! So, I get to live another day as a cake decorator and I won't give up....yet.

it almost looks like the top tier and teapot are sitting on a round pillow.
i can only hope my first topsy turvy cake turns out half as good.
I think it looks GREAT!!! AND I totally feel your pain!!! I killed my topsy turvy yesterday after finishing it!!! I blame it all on the super moon! LOL! ![]()
