Has any one ever used those big boba tea straws as supports inside a cake? If so is there a weight limit before you should use wooden dowles? and dose any one know where I can buy some boba straws on line cheep?

I don't know it was just me or what, but I didn't like them. My cake wasn't supported very well and it caused little cracks all along the sides of the fondant.
Now I had to drive 90 minutes with the first one and then 6 hours with the second one. So maybe they would work for a short drive, but I have kind of given up on them myself.

Try a combination of wooden dowels or Wilton plastic dowels in combination with bubble tea straw.
