[jasminHartley]

This is a fantastic tutorial, someone just asked me for a topsy turvy cake and I've never done one before so I paniced but after watching this tutorial all my worries have been answered! Thanks very much x

[TheFreakshow102]

Is this a buttercream frosting?

[Aseck344]

This is adorable! Making my first topsy turvy cake taking as many notes as i can! 

[Jordan2ksports]

Once you froze it how does it get back to being moist!?

[komoriaimi]

@Jordan2ksports My thoughts exactly. I don't think it's moist

[TheBelieveGirl]

Im making a cake today whats the recipe for the icing you are using?

[TheBelieveGirl]

how to you make cakes that are the same size, like i use the exsact same pan that are round 8 inch^ and still there not the exsact same size like urs (around the edges)

[M0N3t7]

Oooow, I know what type of cake I'm having for my birthday....:-)

[nickdw20]

[catalow333]

do you have to use dowels? because when you cut through it you are going to get a big piece of wood.

[TheLEC1980]

well done thank you for putting this online, and unlike others I've seen your cakes look moist!

[TheChristiankarina]

[claire2kay11]

[sweety19942]

what kind of cream do you add on each cake?

[dapanda852]

Do you only use dowels for support or is there something else?

[SparklexxRainbow]

omg if u want to make a ballet cake leave the fondant edges!

[kitchennanny]

Hi your cakes are fab do you use dowels on all tiers

[betacof]

[LadyAilath]

[camelazo]

[Hxlgg]

Beautiful cake and very instructive video. Thank you! Small, personal note though... buttercream is sooo much better than fondant. Harder to work with, but worth it. Mmmm....

[ispeakdatruth1234567]

Okayy great video, one question though..

My cakes always. Start to fall apart when I pick them up to stack them. How do you keep them together?

[proudveteranswife]

I just watched a few tutorials and yours was the best, thanks for posting! :)

[kitty100ify]

does anyone here this a 12 year old could do this? :/ I really need to practice this...

[101pinkmelons]

@ 6:43 and 5:24 it looks like a toilet! :D

[1975natascia]

ma non si mette la bagna?scusami ma preferisco torte con bagne,cmq sei bravissima <3

[101pinkmelons]

Thats a beautiful cake! *o* amazing!

[bellafroggy]

amazing!! whats your uttercream recipe please - mine is never as nice as your!! xx

[dawny87]

@bellafroggy Have you tried to make the Wilton Snow-White Buttercream Recipe? It comes out fluffy and pure white and will crust perfectly for me everytime!

[bellafroggy]

@dawny87 great thanks!! can you get it off the wilton website? x

[dawny87]

@bellafroggy Yes you sure can :) Type, Snow-White Buttercream Icing in the Search Bar on the Wilton Website.

[bellafroggy]

@dawny87 thank you :) x

[yozan68]

estupendo, gracias por compartirlo.. saludos desde argentina..

[Guinnessgurl27]

What kind of cake do you make your cakes with? The ones I have made just fall apart when I try and trim them or cut them in layers to ice

[eyeLuvmuZic12]

thank you for that! it is really useful

[shelby925]

GREAT JOB!!!!!! I love it!!!!

[dawny87]

For the Cake Recipe you say similar to a pound cake... I keep hearing about the WASC (White Almond Sour Cream) Cake. Would that Recipe work? or would I have to go with a Pound Cake Recipe?

[kathyc68]

That was fantastic! Thank you. I have never had an order for a topsy turvy cake, but really want to make one and was just curiuos on how. This was the first video I came across, I don't need to look any further!

How long did the whole thing take to put together?

Oh, I do have a question. You say you chill the cake after applying the fondant so that the cake doesn't get air (bubbles?). What stops that from happening after delivery?

[amandaleedowning]

Oh wow !! that is amazing

[ninajmisfit13]

that's pretty!

[perlapar]

es una obra de arte! , lastima que se coma !!!!!!

[smsantaella]

Awesome :)

[WilliamGC13]

OMG thank you sooooooooooooo much!!!

[browngreeneyedgirl]

You are A-MA-ZING! I learned so much from this video, thank you so much!

[trinisrenee5]

Great Cake! Great vid!

[Melody2keys]

what was that tool you used at 6:24?

[Melody2keys]

It started to look like a toilet a little at 5:23

[MsHahaYouSuck]

whats your recipe for buttercream? because everytime i make mine, it comes out really creamy. and less... fluffy?. unlike yours :3 (amazing cake btw :D )

[SIRENA0077]

your cake is amazing!

[SIRENA0077]

Yeah! What are you using to fix the cake??

[4everiayjf]

whhat it is betun??

[StormyTrooper]

That is EPIC!

[Kady517]

This is a great video; very helpful. Thank you :)

[hannahking12321]

how many um layers of cake were in the first cake of the video

[WeadyBeady]

wow ive seen this cake on google images...didn't know you created it....absolutely amazing!!!

[jimswife182]

Icing would have been easier with a sheet rock mud spreader...just a hint. Love the idea of the smaller cake on the bottom, awesome idea!!

[jimswife182]

Icing would have been easier with a sheet rock mud spreader...just a hint.

[DireExistence]

You make it look so simple. :) Thanks for the video.

[katma26]

How many boxes of cake mix total did you use for this project?

[geNevaxgummybeArs]

wow i get it now and this reminds me of woodmaking like carving a chair or something lmao

[9987ifY]

It looks like my toilet, I love it.

[amfondantfancies]

Hi Janelle! Great tutorial! Just to let you know that I have shared it on my FB cake page annemariesfondantfancies with a link to your channel! Great Job!

[HelenaandJoseph]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooo

[Guinnessgurl27]

If you ever need anyone to eat those scraps of cake you are cutting off... Those are the best parts...

Just sayin... ;)

[dezcrls]

@Guinnessgurl27 Ha ha my thoughts exactly! LOL

[forresterL11]

@Guinnessgurl27 i said that in my head be4 i read this comment!

[mojoribs]

Awesome!!!!!

[TheFionamaccallum]

Can i ask what did you use to coatthe outside of the cake with before putting on the icing?

Great video!!

[chinook0421]

Love the instruction video, thank you. I have never worked with fondant and since its for my daughter 5th bday will probably not attempt to now. I will look up instruction for the icing one.

[jbbhify]

How much is fondant usually?

[xLilWHODAT]

@jbbhify about 10 bucks at michaels.

[DailyDreamer123]

Pound cakes would work best I hear.

[RindaJ95]

Alright so what kind of cake would be best for carving? Or if I semi-freeze it is it okay if it's something really moist?

[sweetgal543]

thanks for showing me how to make a topsy truvy cake!!! :)

[trucanh456]

so great.

[Lexnoesbest]

May i lick the bowl?

[Lexnoesbest]

CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE

[TheMuffinIAm]

thanks! i love how you didnt spend half the video going on about what tools you were using and just showed us how to make the cake!

[xRandax94]

Looks yummy! I wouldn't have the patience to do this tho

[rachaelly1]

COOL!

[sammysam745]

how much did the fondont cost? and where did u get it?

[oOISCARFACEIOo]

very usefull! great vid :)

[JAydUBr6]

Also can someone tell me where to get the fondant? I think I said that right lol.

[cheshirecat89]

@JAydUBr6 Walmart has pretty much everything in their party/celebration/wedding section. Wilton is a wonderful brand. but yeah, like the other person said, buttercream and then fondant. but there are simple recipes for both. I like making my own fondant because the store bought kind is usually terrible and people tear it off anyways.

[JAydUBr6]

@cheshirecat89 Thanks for the input! I made my first 2 cakes the other night. Scroll down the comments to see what I made =)

[JAydUBr6]

Can some one please explain to me how I would go about forming the round layers? Is there a special round pan you bake the layers in one at a time? And is it just regular cake frosting being used for the interior to hold them together with regular cake frosting for exterior as well? No wax or anything? Sorry I'm new to this and really wanna give it a try. Thank you.

[Bananianiown]

@JAydUBr6 Well, the layers are just made with simple round cake pans. You can find them at a cake decorating store, or Michael's, Walmart, etc. The crumb coating (first layer of frosting on cake) is usually done with buttercream, and the frosting between the tiers is royal icing (like the kind you use when decorating a gingerbread house). No wax :) You can buy fondant the same places you can get the pans (expensive though), or you can search the internet for a good recipe. Hope that helps.

[JAydUBr6]

@Bananianiown Thanks I appreciate it! I made my first 2 cakes the other night. Nothing like this but they're sooo good. I made a square single layer all white cake with cream cheese icing. Then I made a double layer round cake with chocolate chips and chocolate sauce in the middle, on top was a milk chocolate icing. Oh man, got to go...it's calling me to the fridge!

[lilaznmymy]

..but will it taste good? dun dun dun.

[GZMan1671]

Great demo! I will try stacking this way. Thank you very much for sharing!

Sweetpea73

[GZMan1671]

Great demo! I will try stacking this way. Thank you very much for sharing!

[Mitchieboo1970]

The cut off could be could mashed together with butter cream and then covered in chocolate, then decorated!!

[SEXYMAMA11772]

AWESOME JOB AWESOMEEEEE

[MeilasBakery]

How long did you freeze the cake for before you carved it? Amazing cake by the way! Great instructive video :)

[boysselle]

Hello

What kind of cake do you use? (recipe) Thank you

[crimsonpetal541]

how many cake pans do you use all together? do you freeze them while they are in the cake you baked them in?

[YoItsMal]

My nephew's 6th Birthday is on the 16th of April & I'm surprising him by making a cake for him. I asked him what his favorite colors are & what he likes on a cake. I'm hoping to start this weekend. My friend in my culinary class, just finished a BEAUTIFUL topsy turvy cake! :)

I'm 16 by the way, making a complex cake <3

[lapequesalsera]

You are AWESOME! I am making my nephew's birthday cake and he asked for mickey mouse, but I did not want to make a plain blah square cake, I will transform it and adapt it to a topsy turvy, this is a great tutorial, and BTW, the cake itself is beautiful, simple and elegant. Great job!

[KissMyCupcake2]

why are shaving off the edges? and y do you have a small cake at the bottom?

[hotchilly1000]

thanks i am making one in a months time for a wedding and even after reading every tutorial out there (at least thats what it feels like) I still picked up plenty of tips to make the process easier :)

[KarinaKILLZ]

i love this video. what is the cake you used and icing?

[ftcaccabpp]

Topsy Turvy / Wonky cake tins / cake pans are now available on Caketinsmith website .

These tins can save around 2-3 hours of carving and shaping.

[Litlfeathr44]

Great instructional video without all the frills...just the facts! She made it very simple...Thanks!

[boszi985]

Hi, would you please share the cake recipe? I was asked to make a 4 tier wedding cake and I thought of making a topsy turvy cake, but I don't know what cake recipe to use, I need a good sturdy one that doesn't get squished. Antother queston - do you freeze the cake before frosting and do you shape-cut it while frozen? Thanks!

[TaraMareeDavies]

hey can you please give me the recipe for the cakes

[riosrus6]

Could you please post your Buttercream recipe? Thanks for a great video!!

[nuniestar]

How much did she charge for that cake?

[cheryyl123]

how did you get the cake not to crumble???

[shellyrl]

Wow... It's amazing... I almost want to be a pastry maker becaus eof this 0_0

I'm so hungry because of those cake chunks and cream though >>>"

Amazing ♥

[swetgrl29]

I luv the tutorial I'm just starting and I want to do a cake for my dessert party that will "WOW" my guest and I think tupsy is the best if you can will you email me the instructions thanks for posting the video very helpful...

[ibarax]

Great job lady, it's a beautifull cake!

What kind of bread you use?

Can I use a soft bread or wet?

Or specifically has to be dry.

I need answers, please.

[Nikkinoonoo96]

@ibarax It's cake, not bread, that's wh it's called Topsy Turvy 'Cake'.

[ibarax]

@Nikkinoonoo96

(LOL)

Dah!

I know what is.

So

Can you read carefully my question again?

And then YOU can comment.

Ok, thanks.

[Nikkinoonoo96]

@ibarax I did what you requested, and read it again. It says, 'What kind of bread you use?'. Like I said, it's cake, not bread. Don't be a dickhead. Maybe YOU should read your questions.

[butterskullz]

ok question. How the hell do u make it to control the crumbs to not fall crazy!? :(

[TheWenDinDin]

Such an awesome tutorial, thank you! Could you post a video of how you make your buttercream?

[suzesteele]

An absolutely fantastic video. I am going to have a try at this this weekend. What size cake tins do you use for each cake?

[hateliberals1]

Thank you for NO BLACK music.

[ShaSharkee]

@hateliberals1  WTF? ... O_o ...

[stacymcb]

@hateliberals1

What is black music?

[gillyswifty]

...that video is brilliant thank you....I have to do a topsy turvy wedding cake this year and it will be my first but I feel much more confident now :) x

[CHEKIExoxo]

I never new a cake could be so much effort!!

[KatzeARL]

I have to thank you for uploading this. Last summer, when I was still a pastry-cook apprentice, my boss actually took an order for a topsy turvey cake as a wedding cake withouth having a clue how to make one and gave me a drawing of what it should look like and said "Here, you have to work on this tomorrow. You'll make it." - she never taught me anything, my boss/teacher. I searched youtube and found this. I still improvised most of it, but knowing where to cut for the top tiers was crucial! TY!

[sageandseria]

Appreciate the video, I'm dong my first topsy turvy cake, I've done tons of other kinds of cake but this video's been very helpful for me! Thanks and keep up the wonderful cake makin!

[TRIIANGLE]

If you knew you were gonna cut the sides off, why not just use the same size cake trays..... But good job!

[KatzeARL]

@TRIIANGLE

Because that way, there's less waste from the bottom as she cuts downwards.

[judgmentday101]

please show us how to do this in a slow video i want to make one for my sisters sweat sixteen and my mums 50 th and my dads fifty first and by the way im great at making cakes and im only 11 so please for me and anyone else

[TheHooligan213]

Wow!

[humblejess]

This is awesome, I have a question is this box cake mix or homemade? I usually make mine from box and have a real hard time carving. How long do you freeze your cake for? This an awesome cake!

[miavivianwazzup]

I LUV IT SO MUCH!!!!!!!

[GirlArmy21]

that was awesome...I have to make my first topsy turvy cake for an order next week. It is a diva cake for a 16 year old. After watching your excellent video...I certainly can do it now with confidence!!! Thank you thank you for sharing!!! XO

[marvin4012]

[BEMAC7777]
