Thanxx but even if i have straws in for supports you think it will still sink into the bottom tier
If you don't have a board under the top tier it will sink into the bottom tier and the straws will just press up into the underside of the top tier. The cake board is the thing that keeps the top cake resting on the straws... the straws hold it up, but if you don't have something solid to rest on them, they're just going to pierce the top tier as quickly and effortlessly as you pushed them into the bottom tier.
You can use drinking straws if you're talking about a small, light cake, otherwise many people are referring to bubble tea straws when they say straws. They are much stronger and wider. Google it if you don't know what they are and you will get lots of examples. They're pretty cool and probably easier to cut than those stupid plastic dowels. (Grrrrr!! Haha!)
