Help. Need Advice...cake Due In A Few Hours...
Decorating By Tomoore Updated 15 Jan 2009 , 4:47pm by BREN28
Please help! 
I swear I had this all figured out in my head and now...
I can't figure out how to construct this so that the top stays up and it's secure (the person is picking it up from me). I know it's something so simple and I am just too sleepy to get it.
I made the top out of rice krispy treats on a cake board and covered with fondant. The bottom is cake with a filling.
I have wooden dowels and bubble tea straws available...
Plz let me know how you would go about contructing this. I am going to shut my eyes for a couple of hours. I will only have a couple of hours to work on it in the morning.
Thanks.
hope this isn't too late.....I would use wooden dowels and tell the too drive very carefully....by the way great cake!
I have assembled it and it feels sturdy. (I even tried to shake it a bit to see if it would move and it didn't). I basically have two wooden dowels stuck down into board, with the other end pointed and "digging" into the top. In the middle of those, I have a bubble tea straw to hold it up a bit and take a little of the pressure off of the wooden dowels. (I don't want the weight of the top to continue to bear down on the wooden dowels and possibly cause them to poke completely through the top). Anyway, I also have two additional wooden dowels toward the outer edges of the cake.
The filling in white choc ganache and the icing (under the fondant) is IMBC, so the cake needs to be chilled. I am relying on that factor as well to make transporting a little easier.
Say your prayers, please.

Well, I haven't heard anything from the woman that ordered the cake, so I'm assuming that everything went well. I had to drive the cake to a relative's house and the client was picking it up from there. It happened to be a bit more sturdy than I thought. 
I'm posting the final version...
Can you post directions for this cake....pretty please?
4littlewops, give me a minute on directions. When I made it for the second time for a family member, I wasn't as successful with the supports in it. They would not hold the top steady for the life of me! And of course, I didn't take detailed notes or pictures the first time. So, I committed myself to making it again to figure out what I did wrong (and how to do it right). Once I have a chance to do that, I'll gladly post. The support was the only challenging part of the cake.
Thanks everyone for looking!
