Topsy Turvy Birthday Cake

I have had NO training with the exception of the first Wilton class and I have "played" with cakes over the years for my boys birthdays when they were younger doing the shaped pan cakes. This is my very first tiered cake! Only the 3rd time I have ever done fondant. A friend gave me some hands on instruction as to how to do the gumpaste cake toppers using the floral wire curling it to give it the bouncing effect.
