There is always a chance that the cake will break. That's why god made
icing. I bet that anyone who makes large cakes has had that happen. It
happened to me once on a 16" layer of a wedding cake. You just have to go
with it. Icing is the great equalizer. No one knew that the layer broke
into three pieces. With practice you will be slapping layers around with
abandon.
