How do you make the cakes look bigger on top than on the bottom and how do you make them look even? Do you fill before or after making the cake look like this? Is it a different pan or something? Thanks!

I use a size bigger pan on top, 9 inch on top of 8 inch and trim it down. I hope this helps.

Still not understanding it. So would I use a 12, 10 and 8 inch pan and actually carve them so they are smaller at the bases? How on earth would I get them perfectly rounded? Ugh!

Here's an article on building the type of cake you are talking about. Just ignore the tilted part of it.

Or you can bake one size of cakes and stack each tier as you normally would. It's easier if you freeze it for a bit first. Then take a cake round that's the size you want the cake to be at the bottom, put that in the center on top and carve away the excess. Then flip it over and you're done. Do that to all tiers you want tapered like this.
