I absolutely LOVE the Topsy Turvies by Sharon. Tried to make a simular design the other day but it looked nowhere near as good as hers.

It had never occurred to me that they baked the cake that shape - I just thought it was a big sponge trimmed to shape.

Learning? On a Sunday? Maybe just this once.

Cakerific's transformer cake is the best in my opinion. We used this as inspirations for a cake for our son's birthday but couldn't do it justice! How they got the gun part to stay together vertically I'll never know.

We're making a forklift shaped cake for our work staff party coming up and would love to see any ideas people have?

That third one by Too Nice to Slice or whatever is Whoville from Horton Hears a Who. That's a really cute cake!

I may be the only one, but I absolutely abhor topsy turvy cakes. Just hate them.

am I the only one who finds this style overdone and tedious? they're pretty, but come on... can we move on to cubist or abstract cakes or something now? these are just so twee.

If anyone wants to see more photos of the black and red cake (not to mention the wedding that went with it) go here:

This one's kind of a watered-down version of the pink zebra cake:

As I was making fondant icing for my first fondant cake, I wanted to show my mother what miracles could be wrought with fondant, so I brought up a Sunday Sweets page that happened to include one of these. She looked, then wrinkled her nose and scoffed, "that one isn't even straight."

2009-05-28T05:58:10.193-04:00

These are amazing! They look like art sculptures, not something edible. What creativity and talent there is out there in the bakery world. have to admit I've seen nothing like it til stumbling on this site.

I had a cake like this at my wedding and my Husbands aunt went into the kitchen to bitch out the cake lady for making a cake that was falling over...hahahah

Just to give credit where it is due- The person who got that cake ball rolling, the "topsy turvy" or "Mad Hatter" cakes is Polly Schoonmaker or Polly's Cakes and she lives in my town. Her "whimsy" cakes were the beginning of this new trend in cake decorating and unfortunately she seems to have gotten lost in obscurity. I've told her not to feel bad, not too many artists in any medium can know they have revolutionized an industry in their own lifetime. She's retired now after a very successful cake career.

The zebra, green and hot pink cake is the cake my cousin is using as inspration for her wedding cake. She is getting married in July and where it is black and white zebra, she is doing brown and white..the other colors are the same.

2009-05-26T12:23:58.415-04:00

Every time I see these GD crooked cakes I think of "it's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake" and that annoying pink-haired girl. Thanks.

2009-05-26T11:35:12.617-04:00

Topsy Turvy cakes are so much fun, but don't waste money on the pans. I don't know ANY professionals (myself included) that use them. Everyone I have worked with has always carved their cakes... TT pans are just another case of someone trying to cash in.

I love Bronwen!!!!

These are fabulous! One day I WILL try a cake that is topsy turvy. I WILL. I hope. Maybe. Thanks for sharing these.

2009-05-26T09:23:51.702-04:00

Stunning. Absolutely marvelous. Just a few months ago I had no idea that any of these rarefied techniques existed. Along with the circus side-show comprised by the daily wrecks, the Sunday Sweets (to extend the metaphor, perhaps the pretty, lithe trapeze artist who looks down her nose at the range of malformed oddities with whom she is forced to associate...is that going too far?) has given me a tremendous education. I regularly find myself say, "you can do that with cake?!". There truly are more things in heaven and in earth...and some of them taste yummy.

I also want the red and black cake for my very own...is cakenapping considered a criminal offense?

wv: acinesse...these gravity defying cakes look as though acinesse would blow them over.

2009-05-26T08:39:35.942-04:00

Is it just me or is Bronwen looking more and more tired every time she does as challenge? The poor thing, every time I see her - those bags under her eyes look bigger. I absolutely love her cakes though!

Hi,

These really justify the saying :
cooking is an art.
