FAYZIE'S TOPSY TURVY CAKE

This cake is very similar to another Topsy Turvy cake I did but in completely different colors. I was a little nervous about the colors because I only had a bad e-mail picture to look at for the color palette. When I got to the venue I was happily surprised to see just how well the colors matched the table linens. There was even a gold underlay that matched the gold numbers and letters on the cake.

The cake was chocolate with a chocolate mousse filling and crunchy pearls. Covered with chocolate buttercream and fondant.
With all my fretting over the colors I am very happy with the way it looks.

Here is a nice thank you I received from the hostess:

"thanks for everything pam, the cake was beautiful AND delicious. and we LOOOOOVED the candy and peanut brittle."

TOPSY TURVY CAKE

I made this cake for my accountant's wife's birthday. It was a surprise so I had to sneak it over to their house while they were out.

The bottom tier is a 9" chocolate cake with hazelnut buttercream and ganache fillings. I put callebeaut's new crunchy pearls in the ganache to give it a crunch. The middle tier is a 6" marble cake with chocolate buttercream and ganache fillings, and the top tier is a 4" white cake with vanilla buttercream.

I have decided I love 4" cakes. They are so cute!! I never used to make them because they were hard to cover with fondant but I just love their petite size and I think they balance out the whole cake better than 6" toppers.

I love how this cake turned out. The birthday girls' favorite colors are mint green and peach and she also likes gold. I added the lavender because I thought it went well with the other colors. I used an ivory colored fondant over the cakes.

I sure hope she was surprised when she came home to find this cake, I know I would have been.
