So sorry I posted half a message , I am so tired . Another one should come through shortly . My brother in laws babys Christening is tomorrow and I have been working hard all day , shattered now . Anyway its my first stacked cake , used wiltin plastic dowels . Tried to cut them with a scissors , obviously broke it !! Then had the wonderful idea of using an electric bread knife ..... or not so wonderful . The edges are really rough . Was wondering if I put them back in upside down would I get away with it ??
Can you sand them down and then wash them? Can you find an Asian market near you and get bubble tea straws? You can cut those with scissors.
What time is your cake due tomorrow? Maybe you can run to the store and get wooden dowels in the morning? I wouldn't use jagged dowels in case something breaks off in the cake.

If so, they don't break, they bend.
Rough edges won't really hurt anything... as long as they are all the same height, you should be able to cut off the extra rough part with a scissors and use anyway. If they aren't cut to the same height, can you start over again using another rod from the package?
