This was my first stacked books cake. I was horrified to do such a large cake, but somehow managed to pull it off. The bottom cake is an 11×15, middle is 9×13 cut in half, torted, filled and stacked, and top is 9×13 cut in half, filled and stacked. All vanilla with buttercream frosting and filling. The covers are fondant and the pages are buttercream. This was a 70th birthday cake for close family friend, Billy. The bottom book is about his life, the middle about his family, the top is the most important book in his life, and the items around the cake are important milestones in his life.
I primarily used Peggy’s tutorial found at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dillicious-Cakes/156811577699441?ref=hl#!/notes/peggy-does-cake/tutorial-how-to-make-a-stack-of-books-cake/268899263147547

The only thing I did different was to not put fondant around the edges. The pages are buttercream. Thanks for looking!

This was for my grandson’s 4th birthday. All buttercream with fondant decorations. Thanks for looking!

I used the amazing tutorial from Lesley, of Royal Bakery to make this little fella. I’m in love with this pan now, and can’t wait to make something else! Thank you so much again, Lesley!

My good friend requested this topsy turvy for an Alice in Onederland themed party for her daughter’s 1st birthday. The original cake was a 3 tier cake found on Pinterest that is on a party ideas site, so I’m unsure who to give credit- this is not my design. This cake had a LOT of firsts for me. I found out I can carve a cake, I made white chocolate ganache for the first time and can actually frost a cake upside down! My first topsy turvy was a bomb, but after a lot of reading, some good tips, and the guidance of my sweet friend, Peggy, of Peggy Does Cakes, I’m pretty happy with my second!
