Topsy Turvy Birch Cake

Topsy Turvy Birch Cake

My first topsy turvy cake using the Styrofoam wedge method. I was scared beyond belief that it would topsy right over but it was surprisingly sturdy once I got it all put together. Hand-painted fondant with a silver birch tree effect on all tiers. Fresh flowers were tucked into the styrofoam at the reception site. A piece of acetate resting on top of each tier kept the flowers from coming in contact with the cake itself. I am no longer terrified of this kind of cake. Yay! :)
