Yeti can’t believe his eyes. He has to learn more about these cakes!

‘Topsy turvy cakes have become a favorite, whimsical design, defined by cake layers cut and stacked to appear as though the cake is leaning. Most look as though they will fall over, but if properly supported they are perfectly sturdy. The illusion is achieved by cutting the top cake layer on a slant. Then the center of that layer is hollowed out so the next layer will sit flat on top of it. This technique is repeated with each subsequent layer. Lopsided cakes can be achieved with round, square and other shaped pans.’ (Source)

‘Gravity-defying cakes are constructed in such a way that they suspend disbelief and perspective, making garnishes appear to float in mid-air.  This is achieved using secret scaffolding — usually plastic straws, bamboo sticks or even metal rods — concealed within the cake or disguised with buttercream, ganache or icing. The concept has fired the imagination of bakers all over the world, who have created crazy examples ranging from a bowl of noodles complete with suspended chopsticks and marzipan prawns, to tins of beer gurgling into foaming tankards.’ (Source) 

“I have to tell Tiffi that these are a must to learn!” Yeti thinks to himself. “I think we have a lot of baking practice ahead of us if we want to have a chance of winning this competition.” 

Let’s continue - The four of them get together to practice
