How Do I Center Stacked Cakes Perfectly?

I would like to know how i make sure my cakes are perfectly centered when stacking. Mine always seem to be a little off.
If you were going to dowel you could make holes in the exact centers of your boards before stacking, and have the dowel in the base layer already.

I do this for cakes that I can't risk moving an off-center tier or are so tall that I can't eyeball the center.
If you do this with fondant covered cakes, drill a little hole in the top of your cake so the dowel doesn't have to push through and possibly damage your fondant.
I cut my center dowel so it's just an inch or so below the top of the top tier and doesn't poke through.
AI freeze my cakes so hard before I stack them so it won't matter I need to slide it over a bit ;-)
