The last couple of days I have been working on a "Mad Hatter" design. Also known as a topsy-turvy cake! I have an order for one this coming weekend so I figured I better practice! It definitely is an interesting cake design. So far it has taken A LOT of cake batter!
I read up on a tutorial on how to accomplish the cake. Unfortunately it wasn't so easy or rather it was just a bit more work for me. I didn't have the right cake pan sizes that were suggested, so I had to wing it & get creative with a knife!
 |
| Bottom layer (Not too bad. Had mostly hard outsides to work with so it frosted up nicely.) |
 |
| Top layer (looks horrible right now due to having to cut the cakes and not having a harder outside edge to work with) |
Let's just say, I need proper sizing for pans so that the cake will frost up easier! This is just a mess right now. I am hoping that it sitting in the fridge will make it easier to dirty ice then I can put it back in to harden for final icing!
I don't know how I managed it but somehow I salvaged it. This cake will definitely do better with fondant on it, but I wasn't going to tackle that today!

| My top definitely needed to be a bit taller and the bottom a bit wider, but not too bad for the first attempt! |
 |
| Quickly decorated so it wasn't so boring! |
 |
| Top of the cake! |

And the best part of making a cake!
ALL THE CAKE SCRAPS TO EAT!!!
Well besides the actual cake if you are the one getting to eat it!
All in all I think I would give myself around the 65% range on this cake. Of course I am also my hardest critique!
