I've purchased only one layer cake, which had some great fabrics for a wall hanging I'm making. There were some pieces I didn't want, but may use someday. The one thing I really, really disliked was that they were pinked and I felt like I had to cut off the edges all around to get the nice straight edge I wanted. I guess if I found one with just the right fabrics I'd buy another, but still don't like pinked edges.
