TOPSY TURVY CAKE PANS

If you’re a fan of “Cake Boss” and “Ace of Cakes,” and some of the battle-of-the-bakeries TV shows, you’ve seen umpteen fancy cakes.  One trendy style is the lopsided Topsy Turvy cake.  If you wanted to make your own, it could be quite a task slicing the cake layers into lopsided pieces and fitting them for a tilted effect.  A company called Petal Crafts has developed the Petal Crafts Topsy Turvy Cake Pan to take some of the hassle out of making it.   A set of four pans measures 6 inches, 8 inches,10 inches and 12 inches in diameter, with a height of 2 1/2 to 3 inches per pan. Petal Crafts Topsy Turvy Cake Pan™ can be purchased with a round or square form. The round pan retails for $85.95 and the square pan for $99.95. Professional bakers should contact the company for wholesale pricing. Information is at www.topsyturvycakepans.com.  Now if they would just come up with an easy way decorate it, I might try it!
