All buttercream with buttercream damask-style stencil (nearly killed me). Tiers are (from top to bottom) 6-8-10-14", and spacers are foam covered with black ribbon. Tiny pearl borders are non-edible from craft store, monogram is fondant placque with rhinestone border and edible image "B", flowers are fake (bride allowed me to choose)! If I get another order like this it will only be available on fondant tiers so as to keep my sanity!
