Hex tiers, 6, 9, 12 & 15, covered in fondant, with fondant ribbon and swirls. I painted the ribbon and swirls with white silk, and the pearls (1300 of them, all hand-rolled... ...whew.) are rolled in a mixture of white silk and super pearl. I made sure the silk ribbon around each cake drum was just a little wider than the drum in order to cover up the sep. plate underneath. Thanks for looking!
