When a friend mentioned that she was throwing a surprise party for her husband's 50th birthday, I volunteered to make the cake since I wanted to try out the topsy turvy cake. I found two ways to put together a topsy turvy cake. The first involves cutting a groove into the top of the cake to fit the next layer in like this. I chose the second method which involved balancing the layers on top of each other and doweling them well. It was time consuming but fun.
