Do I insert the dowel rods for support before or after I cover the cake in fondant?

I normally put them in after the fondant in on. Otherwise, the dowels will be too short, and the next layer will sink into the fondant.

If you put them in and leave themlonger, they will stick up and prevent the fondant from being applied correctly and smoothly.
