Where do you get these. Also, do I have to put a hole through the cake boards before hammering in the dowel or if it is sharpened on the end will it poke through without problems? I am about to attempt my first topsy turvy cake and want to make sure it has the support it needs.
THANKS!

Wooden dowels can be purchased at a hardware store or crafts store in different thicknesses and lengths.
I have heard (read) different thoughts on putting a hole through the boards vs hammering them. I sharpen the dowel and hammer away and like magic, it goes right through and doesn't mess up the cake.
I've not done a topsy yet, but have watched tutorials. It looks similar in structure to a tiered wedding cake ,stacked.
Hope this helps!
i have found long wooden dowels at Albertsons for toasting marshmallows. they are food grade, sharpened already and 30" long, 6 for $2.99, they generally hang at the end of the aisle.
