Question about a tipsy turvy cake? ?

Okay, Im making a 2- 3 layer Tipsy Turvy cake next week. What I DON"T know is.... It is just a birthday not a wedding or anything overly "BIG". Do I HAVE to have the things you stick in the cake to keep it steady? will it work if I just carve the cakes as needed and carve my hole's in the bottom layers on stack them? Im trying to do this as simple as possible. Please help! If you have any idea where I can find a video, that would Be GREAT! Thank you so much :-)

Update:

Thank you raina.. :-)

    Any time you're working with layers that are off center, it's a good idea to brace them. A $2 dowel rod from the hardware store cut to size and screwed to a base will work just fine for a small cake. There's no need to go out and buy special equipment.
