A friend of mine asked if I would make her a birthday cake. She said that she loved Topsy Turvy cakes and lady bugs. She let me create anything I wanted. I had so much fun making this cake. I made a four major mistakes with this cake:
I made the ladybug out of fondant, instead of rice krispies; causing the ladybug to be too heavy.
I followed a new design for Topsy Turvy cakes, which did not require caving a hole to support the next layer of cake.
I assembled the cake before travel. Two hours was too long for this support system and design. The cake lasted almost the whole way. The bottom layer dowels fell from the weight, less than ten minutes from it destination.
I did not bring any extra supplies to fix the cake at the destination.
The cake was still delicious and everyone enjoyed eating it. Even with all the mistakes, I really loved this cake. It was so cute!
