The cake in my profile pic is a little different.  Not too far fetched but still fun :) For the top tier I did a 6" on top of a 4" and flipped it over and carved out.  Did the same throughout the tiers.  Your cakes are beautiful by the way!!

Thanks Heather!  I love your profile pic!  I really want to do a topsy turvy cake tutorial soon.  Its such a fun design.

Thanks Wilda!  I'll probably post a video tutorial for this cake at some point on my blog, if you're feeling adventurous!

I tried to make a mounted deer head cake. I made the head out of rice treats and when I added the antlers they kept falling forward to the nose of the head. I tried for hours to get them to stay but no luck. You stated that you do 3D cakes and I was wondering if you had any ideas how i could of done this???

Did you shove a skewer in there and secure it with white chocolate and then put them in the cake?

I have a brief description of how I did it on my blog: http://sugarturntable.com/?p=199.  I also plan on doing a tutorial on this particular design within the next month or two.

Bonnie I would use royal icing and sharpened dowels to fix antlers on.
