However, a benefit of wooden dowels is that you can "sharpen" one end into a point, making it easier to puncture the cake and the cake boards. You can sharpen the dowel with a pencil sharpener or even a sharp paring knife. Make sure you do any cutting or shaping away from the cake so there is no risk of sawdust or debris marring the cake. Whether you are using wood or plastic, you should wash and dry the dowels before inserting into the cake.
It is also best to cut all of the dowels for each layer before placing any into the cakeโthis way, you can make sure each dowel is cut to the same length. They should also be inserted straight up and not at an angle.
It may be easier to place the dowels in the cake if the cake has been chilled first. When inserting the dowels into the largest tier, you should start by putting one in the center of the cake; then place additional dowels a little inside the circumference where the next tier will sit so the dowels are below the second tier.

I'll have to ask her next week. Anyway, I used straws and it worked like a charm so thanks everyone!! I'm so glad that you had great success using the straws but I do have to say that the explanation you were given for NOT using dowels is utterly ludicrous It makes me wonder if she once had a disaster using dowels and had to come up with a more "scientific" reason for damning them I mean, if that tidbit were taken to heart, then billions of bacteria contaminated cakes have been constructed and served over the years!
And cake is generally considered to be an extremely "safe" food! I use bubble tea straws or Wilton hollow plastic dowels and I often insert a long wooden dowel in cakes traveling long distances for delivery--never had any hint of "bleached wood" flavor, either.
I wipe the wooden dowel down with Everclear and then rub it liberally with shortening, disinfecting and then sealing the wood. Happy caking! Blakescakes - Can I ask why you use everclear? And thanks to all for the dowel comments. I have used them time and again and I have never had any issues at all.
I must say the OP post had me concerned, but I am glad others are using them without issues. Everclear is a drinking alchohol with a very high alcohol content. It is basically flavorless, so it disinfects, cleans, dries quickly, and leaves behind no taste or odor.
I'd think that any clear drinking alchohol--vodka,gin,white rum--would do pretty much the same. I happen to use Everclear for lots of cake deco techniques, so I always have close by.
Oh ok - thanks for the info. I assumed what you would tell me, but didnt want to do so. Thanks again, T. I have only made one cake that had to be supported and I used straws to hold up the top layer and a chop stick for the center support.
It was just a small 6 inch and 3 inch, but it was sturdy. I have to make a 10" with a scroll stand on that with a 8" round on top. It will need to be pretty strong The hollow cylinder straw is one of the strongest structures in architecture.
Just try crushing one lenghtwise between the palms of your hands. An 8" on a 10" is nothing for 4 or 5 straws to support.
I am with BlakesCakes. I have used both wooden dowels and hollow plastic cake dowels, and I have never had an issue I prefer the hollow plastic cake dowels though, as they are easier to cut and they don't displace the cake in any way.
You can buy them at your local party supply store and I think you may be able to get them at Walmart as well. Not doing so is a disaster waiting to happen.
