LOVE these cake dowels. I am so happy webstaurant store sells them. We used to get them from our local Michaels but now we can add them to our wholesale order. These dowels are super easy to cut and use for multi tiered cakes.

I’m a home baker, but I make cakes from time to time around the holidays. I’ve tried (and failed miserably) at cakes in the past trying to use make shift rods – what a disaster! These can be cut down to size for the simpler two tiered cakes I make, but now I might try my hand at something a little taller now that I have these.

I like that these are easy to cut and you don't have to bust out the pipe cutter to cut them. They hold up really well too!

We love these dowel rods! They are strong & hold up heavy tiers of cake, but incredibly easy to cut to the needed length for each cake.

These are great for use in tiered cakes. They are long enough that they can be trimmed to fit any size cake layer. They are sturdy, we've used them for a while and have never had a problem.

These cake dowels are useful when securing tiered cakes. They are easy to cut if length is too long. Good to have on hand if you assemble tiered cakes regularly.

These are strong and stable and heavy-duty. If you're using these to stack your tiers, your cake isn't going anywhere! When using in a cake, be sure to trim them to the same length (and with a straight edge) to ensure the tiers stacked on top will be level.

These cake pillars/rods are very sturdy and give you that added peace of mind when assembling a wedding cake. They are just the right price that you can add that cost in to your cake orders and still be ok.

Love these dowels! They are very wrong! I use them for every tier cake I make, from 2tiers up to 6 tiers! I personally am able to cut each dowel into half and use the other half for each tier. You will need a heavy duty cutter to easily cut thru. I use a hedge cutter. (Only used for my cakes)
