Topsy Turvy Happy Birthday Cake
This 3-tier Topsy Turvy white cake with Oreo’s and cream filling was created for a party celebrating my grandmother’s 90th birthday (Nana), my great uncle’s 90th birthday (Uncle Joe) and my cousin’s 30th birthday (Emily). My family asked me if I had been drinking when I made this one….It’s supposed to be topsy turvy! The cake was covered in fondant, and decorated with a sugar paste bow and stars. Happy Birthday Nan, Uncle Joe and Emily! Hope you enjoyed the cake!

The cutest cake ever. I was born in New Jersey, but my birthday party is in California. Wish I could get this topsy turvy cake with one of your dynamic designs, they’re fantastic!

Kelli - Your wish could come true if you know a good engineer who could figure out how to package these cakes so they aren’t harmed during shipment.

Wow that is incredible! Really reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. What is the bow made out of? It looks so realistic and very hard to create…

Jesse - The bow is made out of gumpaste. Thanks for the compliment!

I found this site when i was google-ing pictures of wedding cakes and i am sooooooo inspired by all of your cakes. I looked at one wedding cake that brought tears to my eyes. Its just amazing to picture at my wedding one day. Trust me, i am not getting married anytime soon. I hope one day to have a cake business with as great cakes as these.
Thank you so much and continue to inspire!!!

This cake is FABULOUS! I would of never thought of the topsy turvy idea! I was searching the different fondant styles for a going away party and happened to come across this one! Thanks! Great idea too…

I think the topsyturvy cakes are an amazing idea. I LOVE THEM ALL! I was wondering where you deliver though.
August 4th, 2007 at 4:39 am
Thanks Kaitlyn. You’d probably enjoy our . As far as delivery is concerned we can delivery to NJ, NY, PA, & CT. We have a delivery service who specializes in transporting specialty cakes long distances.

this is the coolest thing ive ever seen in my life.
is there anyway you could send a cake to chicago??
haha.
August 18th, 2007 at 1:19 am
Unbelievable. Its gorgeous. My breath was taken, its stunning
how much? lol
xx
August 21st, 2007 at 6:14 am
Sorry Samantha - wish I could but these cakes are too delicate to ship such long distances
We do have a delivery service that could technically deliver anywhere within the United States - but it would be a bit to expensive to deliver it all the way to Chicago.
