When I asked my daughter what she wanted on her 4th Birthday Cake - she chose Ariel. So I found a picture online of something I thought I could do. I've been wanting to try a topsy turvy cake, so this was my chance. The original plan was to do a 3 tier topsy turvy, but I ended up going with 2 mostly because I didn't have room in my fridge for something that tall and we definitely didn't need that much cake for the number of people coming to her party.
I had an issue with my smaller tier - and lost a layer in process - so it is shorter than it should have been. But - I learned from the experience and I know what NOT to do next time - lol.
The bottom tier (below) went much smoother as far as icing and cutting the shape of it...

The starfish were my favorite... Isabella wanted to make one too - so you can see her working on it here...
