How to Make a Topsy Turvy cake

This is a longer video of how I constructed my Valentine's cake with instructions included. A little more information is posted on my blog.

Unfortunately, I've had to take my recipes down so I apologize for not being able to help in that area. I recommend a sturdy cake recipe for this style of cake similar to a pound cake.

you kinda un-did some of your work. like icing it then cutting pieces and icing it again, wasting time and icing

Yes, the cakes are on cake boards. it also lends stability to the structure- so the cake doesn't get crushed by the next set of dowel rods, and it's also the reason you sharpen the center structure dowel into a point, so it can go through the cardboard.

you can make trifle out of left over cake

egg whites and powder sugar. cheaper than having to buy meringue powder. add more powder sugar for a thicker consistency, add more egg whites for a runnier consistency. then if you want add cream of tartar to give it a white look (only if you're using it for decorating), in this case you dont have to.

You make royal icing by combining 3 tablespoons meringue powder (Wilton makes some - try a hobby or cake store), 4 cups powdered sugar and 6 tablespoons of warm water. Blend for about 10 minutes with a hand mixer :)
