Wooden Dowel for Cakes? What the?
Read this first before you jump into your first tiered cake! Wooden Doweling is actually really important and I must admit until very recently I had no idea why! When Stacking cakes it's important that each layer will be supported - not sink in or crush the tiers below. How do Cake decorators do this? With Doweling! Depending on the height and layers you may need a tall centre dowel as well as smaller dowel rods. Wooden Dowel rods are really versatile as you can trim to the exact size /height of your cake using garden secateurs. Approximately five to six dowels are often needed for each layer. N.B. Make sure the rods you buy are non toxic! Here in Cairns I got a bit excited today as I found some cheap non -toxic dowels suitable for mt next cake project! The aim of Cake Decor Cairns is to bring you the local deals so, this weeks find is: Overflow FNQ Stores have these non - toxic wooden dowels available for just $2.50 a packet! P
