Have made a 1/2 sheet cake, want to add an 11x15 sheet cake layer then a smaller oval layer on top, each a single 2 inch layer. Does this need  support between the layers?   It is making a 3 layer cake which doesn't  but these layers are larger and different sizes.

you'll be fine if you stay under 5-6" tall -- so long as the top layer is not super heavy fruit cake or brownies on top of a real light angel food cake or something crazy -- no, you should be fine without supports

I probably would use some support in the largest/bottom layer just as a precaution.   The other two don'tneed any.   I do agree w/K8 that the board you have the cake on needs to be very rigid/strong.
