Topsy turvy cake directions
It's interesting:"The bride and groom have asked me to make special mention of the bridesmaids who have done so much to help the day run so smoothly. They were charming and decorative and I know gave Linda all the support she needed. In fact you could say they added the finishing touch to a fairy tale wedding."

But there is a trick to making this cake so that you don't have to balance any layers on top of each other. Making a topsy turvy cake does not have to be complicated, but the construction can take a while, so be sure to give yourself plenty of time to put it together.

Things You'll Need
- 3 round cakes, 9-inch
- 3 round cakes, 7-inch
- 3 round cakes, 5-inch
- Refrigerator
- Parchment paper
- Pen
- Scissors
- Serrated knife
- Frosting
- Cake platter
Instructions
1
Place one 9-inch round cake onto your cake platter. Put a layer of frosting on the top of the cake and stack your second 9-inch round cake on top of it. Frost the top of the second cake.
2
Take your third 9-inch round cake and cut it diagonally through its center from one top edge to the opposite edge on the bottom. Both cake slices should be thick at one side and narrow on the other.
3
Place one of your cake slices on the top of the stacked 9-inch round cakes. Frost the slice.
4
Place your second slice on top of the first one so that the thick ends are both on the same side, creating a slanted top. This will create the first layer of your cake.
5
Repeat the same process with the three 7-inch round cakes and the three 5-inch round cakes. You will be left with your second and third layers of the topsy turvy cake.
6
Place all three layers into the refrigerator for an hour so that they are thoroughly chilled.
7
Remove your 9-inch layer from the refrigerator and center your 7-inch cake pan on the top of the cake.
8
Using a serrated knife, carefully cut a border around the cake pan. Remove the cake pan from the layer.
9
Cut a well out of the top 9-inch cake layer that is level and flat. Your 7-inch cake will sit inside this well. You will need to remove more cake out of the steep side of the layer than out of the narrow side so that the next layer fits.
10
Repeat this process with your 7-inch layer and 5-inch pan.
11
Frost the tops of your 9-inch and 7-inch cake layers and stack the cakes.
12
Frost and decorate the topsy turvy cake to fit the occasion for which you are making it.
