When you stack a cake how many people put a dowel all the way through the layers.. Is it hard to get through the cardboard? is it nessecary
I always put a dowel through the cakes if I'm transporting them. I sharpen the wooden dowel rod in an electric pencil sharpener until it has a very sharp point. I insert it point side down and just gently twirl it back and forth until it cuts through the cardboard cake board.
I do the nightmare if you don't !! I don't think is hard I sharpen my dowel and hammer away!!!! 
I've never done this, but I don't transport my cakes already assembled. I will say that when I've helped out a bride and cut a cake made by another bakery that uses this method, it's a pain to cut! I've only run into this twice, but we couldn't get the dowel out, so disassmbling the cake to be able to cut it was frustrating. It made me wonder how these poor brides cut a cake when they DON'T have an experienced cake cutter to do it for them. Made me feel sorry for them.
I think I will do the big dowell because I am not transporting and I has to go 100 miles
