Coolest Topsy Turvy Birthday Cake

I made this three tier Topsy Turvy Birthday Cake for my wonderful mum. The bottom tier is a ten inch fruit cake, the second tier is a seven inch chocolate truffle cake and the little four inch top tier was lemon flavoured.

The party theme was “mad hatters tea party” so I went for a rather loud bright pink and blue colour scheme. Each tier was shaped, covered with butter cream then covered in sugar paste.

The middle tier I striped with sugar paste strips. Which was time consuming but I think the effect was pretty. I then stacked the tiers making sure they were well dowled. This is my first three tier cake and my first topsy cake so I was a bit nervous about the stacking but it went well!

I them used blossom and daisy cutters to decorate each tier. I added a little gum trag to my sugar paste to make it easier to work with.
