Judith's Cake

This Cake took so make time and effort to make. Its suppose to have a Topsy Turvy look to it but we lost the third tier during the transportation. The third tier was covered in purple fondant and had white rhombuses all around it, and each rhombus had a pictures of Judith's art that we had printed on edible paper, but on out last turn before we got to the venue the tier went "flop!!!". So we cleaned things up as best we could and tried to save her pictures. Once the cake was put together and fixed it looked nice, but then 'someone' insisted on putting a bunch of toys/crap on the cake. Well I don't want to go into to much detail about the problems that went on.

How it was built:
We baked rectangular cakes, Iced them and then covered them with black and purple fondant to make them look like stacked books, and used a large tip with grooves on it that was piped along the three sides to look like pages.
Then we baked 2 12 inch round cakes, 2 10inch round cakes and 2 8 inch round cakes for the three tiers. the top of each tier was carved at a slant for the Topsy Turvy look. The 12 inch was covered in purple, the 10 inch in white and the 8 inch in black.

The problem:
With the third tier was that 'someone' didn't like how I carved it so they decided to "fix it". They ended up over carving it and having to put mushed up cake back to replace it which made the cake soft and unstable which is probably why it clasped's in the car. Maybe I should have said something instead of holding my tongue when that 'someone' was placing back the mushed cake.

This cake was made with Buttercream icing. Black, white and purple fondant. Strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, and spice cake.

A really annoyed sister <3
