I'm making a cake for tomorrow and the bottom tier is a 14" cake. I think it looks squatty as a 4" tier like the other smaller tiers, and I'd like to make it a little taller using maybe 2 1/2 or 3 cakes as opposed to the standard 2- 2" cakes. If I do this, will I need to add supports within the cake, or will it be able to handle another cake on top of it, and then have supports for the other tiers?

Whether you do it or not, you need to add supports within the cake or it won't be able to handle another cake on top of it. All tiers that have another tier on top needs a support system--basic rule for every 4" or more of cake height.
