Well I learned alot from this one. Each teir was 8 inches tall. I had to deliver it an hour away...I stacked it there. I learned to not use dairy fillings becuase they can melt ( base layer sort of sunk). It was leaning a little as I left. I would have also used the sps system. I dont know...I mean each tier was so dang heavy, any tips would be greatly appreacited if I ever have to do a cake like this again :). Thanks for looking
