I have to do a cake for a housewarming shower for next weekend. The daughter wants a sheet cake with a 3D house and a pool. I'm going to do a sheet cake and do 2 6" squares and stack them for the house. My question is, do I have to put dowels through them. And if I do, where? Do I put them through the entire cake, just under the house, or just through the house. The house is going to be probably on the left side of the cake with the pool on the opposite side. I would appreciate any help and hints that I can get, as this is for a member of my family and I don't want to look stupid!! Thanks!
To be safe, you need a cake board under the two 6" pieces, and 3-4 dowels under the board. This will keep the "2-story house" from sinking in the the sheet cake. It the stacked 6" cakes seem to slide, you can add a dowel (a drinking straw works great) in the center just to keep them in place.
