6 Layers, each a different flavor. My daughter warned me I was putting too much raspberry filling in the largest 16" cake and she was right :O( On the way to the hall the top layer slid off and majorly cracked the top. We were able to fix the "fault line" somewhat with ivy and more fresh roses and I was amazed that no one could tell! I could! That layer and the one on top are not sitting straight. We now affectionately refer to this one as the "earthquake cake".
