I think it depends. When I got married, we had the option of having tiered one with lower levels fake and sheet cake cut behind the scenes for the majority of the guests, or full tiered cake. We had a full tiered cake, no fake parts involved. If I remember correctly, downside to non fake tiered cake is that you are limited by types of tiers you can have, "softer" cake types cannot be used as one of the lower tiers. Oh, and it's cheaper to have fake lower levels.

I've personally made a wedding cake (once, and never again - too much work), and they were correct: The softer cakes cannot be used that way. The cake itself needs structural integrity. Even with supports, you run the risk of the cake collapsing on itself if it does not.. No one wants that. Most box cake mixes won't do, though I know folks use them. I wouldn't take the risk. That said, I still don't actually understand why some are so tasteless.
