I did this for my daughter's wedding, it was a total nightmare, mostly I think because I was nervous and wanted it to be perfect. I had so many problems, had to recover two of the tiers twice, whatever could go wrong went wrong, but it all worked out in the end. 14, 12, l0, 8, and 6" , Wasc, chocolate stout, and red velvet tiers. Her colors were tiffany blue and silver, she was a beautiful bride!
