I finally got the request. For a Topsy Turvy that is. And the picture they sent to me is completely AMAZING. I have seen some videos in which bakers make that "hollowing" center of the bottom tier to fit the top tier in. But I am looking at this picture and it almost looks like that wasn't done here. Any thoughts or suggestion? Also they cover their cakes flawlessly. Do you think that's buttercream or a thin sharp pointed covering of Fondant? Thanks! Image result for alice and wonderland cake pinterest

I can't see your picture....but...not all TT cakes are made by carving out holes and trimming cakes at an angle.  

Some people use standard tiers of cake, but use styrofoam wedged between them to give the crooked effect to the cakes.  Perhaps that's what the cake in your picture uses.....
