The idea of a topsy turvy cake is fun and intriguing. In this case, it is merely an optical illusion.
The first person I saw use this technique was B. Keith Ryder. It gives the impression of a Wonky Cake, but is actually quite level. It can be made and assembled before delivery without worrying about shifting.

Janell's Cakes has a wonderful video demonstration of this style cake. You can see her construct it before your eyes on YouTube.
For this cake I decided to keep the angles less severe because of the geometric
design I was later using. However, for a more fanciful design, I would increase the angles and add more contour to the tiers for extra flair.
I started with my top tier using two 7" round layers and one 6";
and cut one 6" round pattern out of waxed paper for later use.
1. I chilled my layers well, filled and stacked them.
Flipping topside down ( for some reason, that is easier for me)
I contoured the tier with a serrated knife, cutting away the excess.
2. Attaching the cake circle with fresh frosting, I flipped the cake upright again...
3. and cut the top layer at an angle.
The more diagonal the cut, the more severe your angle on the cake will be.
I then iced the top and flipped the cut piece of cake
placing the thick side of the cut on the higher side of the layer, creating a steeper angle.
I then frosted the entire tier and chilled well.
For the bottom tier, I started with two 10" layers and one 9" layer, then followed steps 1-3.
this time crumbcoating the sides for easier handling.
(Sometimes you adjust as you learn!)
After centering the pattern and I cut around it, creating a level
surface;
then iced the tier and chilled well.
After chilling, I misted the tiers lightly with water
and covered with fondant.
I doweled the bottom tier using wooden dowels since I had them on hand, but you can also use
Because this cake had no topper, I didn't want to insert a center dowel
through the top of the cake.
So I pre-cut a 1/2" hole in the center of the 6" cake board .
I hammered through the center of the bottom tier, securing
into the cake board.
I placed the top tier over the dowel, securing the top tier to the bottom tier.
After that, the cake was ready to decorate!

ReplyDeleteCan i use two 8" cakes and one 6" cake instead of 7" and 8" cakes since i only have even sizes of pans.
ReplyDeleteSure, it will just be one inch smaller in diameter, but will work the same!
ReplyDeleteThanks Misbah and Canterbury!
ReplyDeleteYour tutorial is so easy to understand I love it..
ReplyDeleteI tried a topsy-turvy cake this weekend and oh my what a disaster! As i was crumb coating the bottom tier, the top portion of the tier was falling apart. I am not sure if I cut too much cake away or my cake recipe was just too moist for this structure. Does it matter what type of cake is used for this type of cake? And any other pointers would be great. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteA dense cake is the easiest to work with. As I said in step one, I like to chill my cakes until very firm before cutting them. They tend to hold together easier when the layers are very firm.
DeleteThanks for the tutorial. Kathy
ReplyDeleteThis tutorial was very easy to understand, I will be trying this for the first time next weekend! *keep fingers crossed* Thanks for the tutorial!

IT'S GREAT TO TALK WONDERFULLY ABOUT DR. ELLEN. I'm Vanessa Canga. I had a beautiful union with my husband and shared happiness, warmth and true love. We lived together for 10 years and had two children. A few months ago we started having endless problems and continuous discussions. The house was full of unhappiness and my children were always crying seeing us fight all the time. Eventually she walked away and took away all means of communicating with him. I did everything I could to get him back because of how much I loved him but to no avail. Dr. Ellen came to my rescue when I contacted him and revealed that there was a woman behind my problems and he promised to help me which she did when I followed his procedures. My husband came back to our house and we reconciled. We live happily together again.
