I just got an order from a golf course owner. I want to impress them because I think it will do me good to get involved with them. They are having a party to celebrate 6 generations of family for about 80 people. THere idea is to have 6 tiers and to write each generations name on the tiers. All they want is white buttercream, very simple. How do I even begin that?? I mean can I make like the top tier 3X4 the next 4X4 then next 5X4...i hope that makes sense. I have just never seen pan sizes that small but if I start with a 6in as the top layer, this cake will feed WAY to many!! How would others go about this? thanks for any ideas!!!

tiers smaller than 6x6 can be cut from larger tiers.
example:
an 8x8 can be cut into
2 - 4x4
2 - 3x3
2 - 2x2
pieces
giving 3 tiers of 4x4, 3x3 and 2x2 for the work of baking one layer.
a 10x10 would yield 2 each of 5x5 and 4x4
then just ice using the big icing tip so less problems w/ crumbs.
thank you thank you. those are both great ideas! I didnt even think of styrafoam, duh! I knew CC would know the answers!
and every tier doesnt' HAVE to be smaller.
Or you could do a pyramid of sorts - three layers next to each other with a slight space in between, supporting two centered above them, support ing one centered above those. (sorry, I don't draw the visuals as well as doug does).

give the system a little time to catch up (it's just like the galleries w/ their 30 min lag time -- tho' here the lag time is more on the order of 3-4 minutes)
I like the idea Doug did the illistration on... it resembles a family tree in sorts 
I gotta say I PM'ed Doug and asked him how he makes all these great images for all of us and he told me.. I tried to duplicate this one here just to see if I could do it... I can't do it lmfao I don't know what magic buttons he's got but I ain't got em lol
