10in+8in+6in round cakes frosted with buttercream. The balls around each tier are fondant--this was my first time doing that, and I think it's kind of a pain!!! :) The swirls are cream, though they look white in the picture probably because of my flash. This is my second wedding cake. I'm not in love with the design, but it's what the bride wanted, and I think it turned out well.
