Imo it looks like the bottom is 2",2nd and 3rd are 4" and top is 3".
It is a beautiful cake. I don't think the top is taller than the second and third one. I am not sure which green that it is unless its like a moss green or maybe a lighter olive green. take a breather, everything will work out just fine.... I can't wait to see the picture so make sure you post it.  |

Are you doing the tiers square? If so you really only need 3 tiers to feed 100. A 4/8/12 combo-square,saving the top tier will give you 104 serves. If she wants the 4 tiers you could make a dummy for the bottom. |

hmmmm
i have been looking and looking at the picture....
starting from the botton going up...
the first one i give a 2" tier
second a3 1/2" maybe?
third a 4" 1/2
the one on the top i think is a 4 "
??????????/
i think that is why it looks like a french tower .. kind of thing....
i think if i make it like that will look like that? 
cause if you see the second and 3rd tier
the 3rd looks taller than 2?
and second looks the same as the one on top?
i know....it is more servings but i want to make that cake....
i give free cakes sometimes...well why not free cake...
when the person is trusting me her cake knowing im a newbie?
and that way i have a first wedding cake...that i hope looks a litle bit like this one....
so far i think it wont look bad
the only thing she wants it ivory with the yellow of the flowers more like autumn colors
so i hope! it looks good...
i think I trust my self.. i think.... |

The bottom tier is def on a single layer. For that layer, I would torte and fill with bc. The other tiers look the standard 4in height. I think it's just the camera angle that's making you think they are different. I'll tell ya' I don't measure my final tier heights so I'm sure they could be off by 1/2in or so but I can't ever really tell in the final product. Don't worry yourself crazy over something like that. Just make them the standard size except for the bottom tier. |

Nice work fellow newbie! My first paying wedding cake was extremely stressful for me but the B&G loved the result which gave me the confidence to continue. Keep it up! |

Beautiful cakes! It really says something when a bride calls you on her WEDDING NIGHT to thank you for your work! Your flowers are very nice--did you make them? |
