Just curious how many of you have/use these and your opinion on them. I was thinking of trying them because they are obviously easier to cut, therefor, easier to get even.

Also, for those that use them, do you mind sharing your supplier? I was going to order some yesterday, but shipping was 3 times the amount of the straws!

Thanks for you help!

I use them all the time!! I love them!! I get mine from a local Asian Supermarket for about .79 per pack.

I think they're great...very easy to use.

Here's where I purchased mine, though I got a pack of 172 from this seller: http://cgi.ebay.com/164-Giant-Boba-straws-cake-decorating-tiers-wood-dowel_W0QQitemZ220483837576QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3355dc5e88


I received them in 4 days, and they were slightly sturdier/firmer than a previous set of 50 I ordered from another site.

I should think they work awsome this weekend I had to improvise, I forgot to buy dowels for my cake so I used regular straws they were a lil thicker than regular straws but they were awsome. So I could only imagine a big o straw working wonders.

I never thought to check one of the Asian Markets! I just called and found them! Now I just need to have a tiered cake to do!

Thank you all for your help!

Good idea! i never thought about using them. I think I might try them out on my next cake. I usually use wooden dowel and hate having to cut them to get them straight.

They work very well!! I used them in the cake store I used to work at.

I love bubble tea straws. I used them on a four-tier wedding cake this weekend and drove the cake to the venue assembled. No problems whatsoever and they are so much easier to cut and get even!
