Before I tried SPS, I HATED to do tiered cakes. I could never get the dowels but even and it was just too much stress worrying that they would fall. Today, we took a 4 tier cake an hour away in the rain and it never moved. I wasn't even worried actually. I used to stress so much about them and with SPS, it doesn't move.

Something else I learned today. I have never actually dismantled a cake that uses SPS. The wedding cake today was for a friend and I was staying for the wedding. When we got to the reception, there was a girl that was going to serve and they had some questions about flavors. The girl looked terrified to serve the cake. I asked her if she wanted help and she readily agreed. Since there were 3 flavors of cake, we separated all of the cakes so guests could get the flavor they wanted. It literally took me over 5 minutes to get the support out of 1 of the tiers. For that cake to have fallen would have the taken the car rolling over and then, I wouldn't have been worried about the cake at that moment. thumbsdown.gif

Anyway, I would never go back dowels. I just add it to the cost of the cake and if they bring it back, that's all the better. I got this one back since I dismantled the cake but I consider it disposable.
