Hi Nathan, 

We have a video on this.  Take a look at the Pendulum Serve tutorial .

The main thing is to get the brushing contact right first.  Then think about hitting the ball on the later part of the Pendulum swing when your racket is going in an upward direction.  This is what will give you the topspin on the serve.
