90% of all the wedding cakes i have made have been mudcakes. I use wooden or plastic skewers and thick cardboard boards in between. They hold up beautifully. This is the last one i did just yesterday. It weighed half a ton!! but it held up just fine. (10-8-6 inch squares)

PS: I actually used straws for this one, i used 5 straws per tier, and it seemed to hold up just fine. I wouldnt recommend it for any tiers larger than 10 inch, as i havent tried it, and dunno if it would work with the weight of a mudcake.
