Piggy Topsy Turvy Cake

First attempt at Topsy Turvy. It was for my niece and boy was it a LOT of cake! Buttercream icing. It really wasn't that difficult to make surprisngly. The main problem was the cake being crumbly.

Therese! I think you did a great job on your first topsy turvy cake. At first, I thought it was fondant but when you mentioned it was buttercream, I was like, "WOW". You did a great job on smoothing it out!

I think the overall design is very tasteful and whimsical. I love the topper! So adorable!

Rylan...thanks so much for your wonderful critique! It makes me SOOOOO happy to hear such good comments on my buttercream. To think I was ready to throw in the towel on several occasions when first starting out because of stressing over buttercream. Thanks again!
