Please someone inform me. I am doing a 18x12 cake with the race car pan cake on top. Should I dowel rod the cake to support the race car cake? and if so how? I understand the placking of the dowel rods into the botton cake, but does the top cake have to have a cake board under it to rest on the bottom? I hope I'm explaining it well enough for someone to help. 
I did something similar with the football cake that I think is in my photos, but not sure. I did a football on top of a sheet cake. I cut a board for the football just to be sure. Without it, I don't know if the bottom dowels do much good. This way it was just like doing a plain stack cake. I put dowels in the sheet to support the football and a dowell in the middle through both the football and sheet to keep it from sliding. All that may not be entirely necessary, but better safe than sorry.
Hope this helps!

quick question, is the 18x12 a single layer with the racecar being a single layer too. If yes then my "opinion" is that on 2 layer cakes you never put anything in between except icing and no dowels needed. Stacked and tiered cakes need the extra support....unless this is a stand up race car like a sculpted one..... Does any one agree on this?
