First Whimsical Cake

First Whimsical Cake on Cake Central

A young lady turning 18 wanted a "Mad Hatter" cake for her birthday. She found a pic on the internet and sent it to me. The pic was 4 tiers but only needed 3 tiers. Actually needed less than that but she wanted 3 tiers. Funny, I constructed it and know it's totally stable, but if I walk by it and catch a glimpse from the corner of my eye...I want to run over and catch it before it falls over..LOL!

Forgot to mention that it is BC frosting with fondant accents on bottom and middle layers.

this cake is gorgeous!!!!!!!!! I bet she had a hard time letting anyone cut into it!!! Did you think it was difficult to construct??? I'm so afraid to try one of these!

Not really difficult--I followed the tutorial here on CC. I didn't freeze mine as much as the tutorial said. I crumb-coated and let set overnight, fosted and smoothed bottom tier with Viva papertowel, then put next tier in place--frosted and smoothed. Repeat with third tier.
