Hey Jessi-
Use your pans to eyeball it to see what you think. Flip them over and stack them up and see if you like what you see.
I don't have a 16", otherwise I would do it and tell ya what I honestly think. 
Hey, by the way...I am originally from PA! I'm transplanted in OH now and love it, but I miss lots about "home"- Tastycakes, birch beer, lebanon bologna, Utz potato chips....shall I go on?????

thanks for the input, I'm not sure what to do because I still need to give them the same amount of servings... BUT the top is just for the bride and groom right?.... maybe I can cut it down to 4in - I don't have 4 in pans... I don't know!!!

From Central PA...Lewistown to be exact...in the valley...about 30 miles from PSU campus. My brother (and other relatives) still lives there, my mom is in York and my dad is in Shermans Dale. Kinda all over, huh?

I made this same sized wedding cake (my first one, so I didn't really think about the sizes like you are). I think it looked fine and, although mine is a little crooked, the sizes I would do again.

How many servings were you wanting to get?

It will look just fine! You want to have a good 2" all the way around to allow for a border or any floral decor to be added on the tiers. Not too fear!
The topper whether it be a figurine of sorts or flowers will detract from the difference in size. No one will notice. Whatever is on the top will add height and that is where the eye is going to go.
I can't wait to see this cake. Can you please post back here when you post the pic? I want to see this beauty!
Good luck with it!
Amy
jessi01, your cakes are great! I'm in Lancaster, not far at all. What a small world!
Wow! thanks for all the replies! I had left to go buy some supplies for this cake and while there decided to change the tiers to 14-12-10-8-6 all for the sake of keeping things even..I added another tier! anyway had i checked here first I woulnt have But I think it will look ok...Now.......covering that much cake in mmf?? how much will I need to make
mjballinger~ Im from Lancaster! and still not that far! that is a small world!
I'd think 15 lbs to be on the safe side? According to the cakesbysam chart, 11.5. MMF doesn't roll as thin as commercial fondant. Maybe it's just me!

It makes about 5lbs if I remember right. I haven't made it in a long time.
Do you need 200+ servings? That's a ton of cake. 
While I haven't done a wedding cake yet and I know it would be another layer to make and decorate. I think it was a good decision to change the cake sizes. I think the difference on the top would look off. It would bother me seeing a bigger "ledge" around the other cakes and not the top one. Good luck, can't wait to see pics.
10-15 extra isn't bad at all.. good luck with your cake and I can't wait to see pictures.
ok, here it is... It' ended up being a very tough week, my son fell and ruptured his spleen so I spent my days in the hospital and my nights baking.. I know this could have been better had I not been so exhausted.
I think I might have liked it better had I went with the first plan I don't know, It seems too skinny to me... maybe it's just the fatigue talking, but anyway, thanks for all your input I love haveing my CC friends to bounce ideas off of 
awww that is a sweet cake!
if you don't mind, how many batches of MMF did you eventually make to cover that cake?
