I am "bravely" or "dumbly" trying make a make a stacked cake for a shower...I want to cover both layers in mmf...I understand I should stick a dowel down through both cakes. i was hoping to have nothing on top....so how do I cover that?

I have tried to smooth out mistakes in mmf before, but I always end up tearing it or something.

I have thought of doing this..let me know if you think it would work.

Put hole in 6" cake board for top cake. Cut dowel to length..I could measure carefully. Then Put center dowel in bottom cake...then place top cake down over the dowel. So now it is stablized, but no hole. But would that really work??

Help is greatly appreciated and desperately needed! icon_cry.gif

Putting dowel through the bottom, like what you're describing, is the only way I can figure you can dowel a cake with no hole on top! I think it's a good idea, and if it's only a two-tier cake, you'll only need the one dowel.

It will work. Remember that you need to put a base coat of buttercream underneath the MMF so that should cover any indention that might occur. But yes, you can cut the dowel to exactly the height of the cake.

Good luck! You can do it!
