One Dozen Wooden Dowels

Use these for superior support of stacked cakes instead of using straws which can bend and cause your cake to collapse. The Dowels are 12" long and 1/4" round.

Cut these to the height of the finished tier and push into the iced cake for the next layer to sit firmly on. You can also sharpen one, cut it to the height of the cake and drive it through all of the tiers to hold the entire cake firmly in place, this is especially useful if you have to travel with the cake.
