Like wedding cakes, typically (6)
I believe the answer is:
tiered
'like wedding cakes typically' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for tiered that I've seen before include "Cunstructed in layers" , "Laid out in layers, like wedding cake" , "in racks, say" , "In ranks" , "Set out in layers like wedding cake" .)
