Does anyone know where I could find cardboard dowels and bubble straws? I would think they are easier to deal with than wooden dowels. What is your opinion of these?
) Oh...oops. One of the managers at a Hawaiin restaurant in town sells me a box of them every once in awhile for like $5.00. I know I can get them cheaper online, but it's just down the street from me....easy peasy.
They are everywhere online! Amazon, Bob aT eaD irect
Not sure about where to get cardboard dowels but i have found bubble tea straws in an oriental grocery in town. I bet if you went to that sort of grocer in your town you'd find them there. Just ask for them if you don't see them. My grocer had them in the back of the store. HTH
Oh, and i know you can find the straws online but looking for them locally would save you shipping.

Ok, another question. For those of you that have used the straws, do you use them for your bottom layer? Or just for the smaller layers towards the top of the cake?

That's all i use for support for all layers..plus your cardboard round under each cake of course. Not had problems yet. 
I know this is an old thread, but I did find the cardboard dowels while searching for tea/bubble straws. Lady Mary / Ateco Parchment Coated Paperboard Dowels, 12-Pack.
Ateco sells them on Amazon (and is a Prime company!)
