I am doing a fondant-covered three-tier wedding cake this weekend and will be using wooden dowels to support the tiers. I was just wondering--when I put the dowels in, do I need to hollow out a space for the dowel first...or can I just shove it on in the cake?

I don't make holes, just push them in.

I'd be afraid if you hollowed out places they'd shift around. By sticking them straight in they stay put.

How do you all make sure that the fondant doesn't shift with the pushing in of the dowels?
