    As a baker there is no difference between an iced sheet cake and a decorated tiered cake. I would even argue that the sheet cake would taste better since its not sitting out as decoration. Talk to your baker and decide if fake layers are cheaper with them if not I would consider doing an elaborate cake stand/pedestal. You could also diy that and make something really unique.
