Glittery Topsy Turvy Cake in Taupe for Hipsters

This is a design for a joke cake.

This is the Glittercorn Taupesy Turvy Cake. The inside of the cake is strawberry in bright pink and the outside is covered in a taupe "fondant".

The bottom layer is taupe dusted in opalescent glitter like this: http://www.kitkraft.biz/product.php?productid=5307. It has handlebar mustaches in a pattern around the center. 1 mm micro beads in gold line the top edge of this layer. 2.54 cm wide.

The second layer is much the same as the first, only with different mustaches and 2.1 cm wide.

Same story with the third layer. 1.9 cm wide.

Again with the fourth layer. 1.7 cm wide.

The top layer is a taupe base with a dark leathery corest-cover over it, pulling the bottom tighter then the top. There is black lacing and gold grommets and glitter.

Out of the top of the cake juts a unicorn horn made out of pale taupe-gray. It too is covered in glitter. Attached to the back of the top layer are a pair of sparkly taupe fairy wings. The cake itself is scented like an extra sugary, cupcake sugar rush with cotton candy, strawberries, vanilla and cream.
